The pandemic in 2020 sent shockwaves through the global economy. COVID-19 has triggered a global crisis like no other—a global health crisis that is leading to the deepest global recession since the second world war. The epidemic impact is engraving very solid footprints in every bite of the World market. Businesses are revamping to new normal, Governments are stretching their spending capacity, the financial systems are attempting to strengthen their stability, Policymakers all over the world are looking for ways to contain the spread of the virus while limiting the economic fallout and the list of exhaustive. The scourge ramped beyond bounderies. For this reason, coordinated, international strategies to fight the virus and its economic impact are more effective than going it alone. Cooperation based on sustainable development among enterprises, governments, social organizations, the public and nature is the need of the hour.

Even Ms. Kristalina Georgieva, IMF Managing Director quoted while releasing the Global Policy Agenda (2020), “This is a crisis like no other. We anticipate the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. While there is tremendous uncertainty around the forecast, we project global growth to fall to-3 percent this year. And we project a partial recovery in 2021, with growth expected at 5.8 per cent. In time, as the global economy stabilizes, coordinated fiscal stimulus will be needed to boost demand and restore growth.

It is time to reinvigorate multilateralism. There is a strong need for common dais to discuss the corporation, coordination and contemplation between multinationals, policy makers, educationsists, researchers, maketers, financial experts, analysts, investors, philanthropists and governance cordials.

The immediate policy priorities are to alleviate the ongoing health and human costs and attenuate the near-term economic losses. Once the crisis abates, it will be necessary to reaffirm credible commitment to sustainable policies and undertake the necessary reforms to strengthen long-term growth prospects. Proper governance structure design and mechanisms can effectively coordinate the harmonious development of economy, society and environment.
