About the Conference

COVID-19 is continuing to spread around the world, with more than 100 million confirmed cases and more than 2 million deaths, since the disease emerged in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic has plunged the global economy into deep contraction. Global immunization helps economic recovery. However, limited access to COVID-19 vaccines in low-income countries threatens to hinder the global economic recovery from the pandemic. This conference will bring together leading economists to discuss the consequences of COVID-19 in the post-pandemic world. In particular, we will focus on impacts of pandemic on consumption pattern, work-from-home mode, health care industry and global supply chains. Moreover, issues on threats and opportunities of financial system, international trade and expansionary monetary policy will be discussed. Finally, we will also discuss the topics regarding to rapid information dissemination and economic loss and panic caused by fake news or false information.
