Coronavirus: impact on Global Economy – BBC News
The US economy suffered its most severe contraction in more than a decade in the first quarter of the year, as the country introduced lockdowns to slow the spread of coronavirus.
The world’s largest economy sank at an annual rate of 4.8%, according to official figures released on Wednesday.
It marked the first contraction since 2014, ending a record expansion.
But the figures just hint at the full crisis, since many of the restrictions were not put in place until March.
The pandemic “is causing tremendous human and economic hardship across the United States and around the world”, policymakers at America’s central bank said on Wednesday.

Half of the world’s workers are in danger of having their livelihoods destroyed by the coronavirus pandemic, a United Nations agency has warned.
The International Labour Organisation’s updated analysis emphasises its severe impact on people in informal work.
It says many have already suffered massive damage to their capacity to earn a living.
Without alternative income, these workers and their families would have no means to survive, it says.
The new analysis says 1.6 billion people’s livelihoods are threatened by the virus, equivalent to almost half the global workforce.

The US midterms are usually swayed by domestic matters like economy and the cost of living. They’re often a pulse check on voter sentiment towards the incumbent party or a reflection of local political battles and regional trends.
Rarely are they impassioned referendums on a specific foreign policy issue. But for some voters this year in Michigan — where Democrat hopeful Abdul El-Sayed is facing off against Republican Mike Rogers — the Senate race is shaping up to be just that.
Two weeks out from the crucial polling day, The Global Story’s Asma Khalid shares her reporting from Michigan, where a debate among Democrats over the conflicts in the Middle East has become a touchstone issue, especially among the state’s large Arab American and Jewish communities.

Targeted curfews across France contributed to a quiet night after a weekend of riots and looting across the country, the Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has said.
Curfews were introduced across parts of central Paris, including Place de la République, where protesters had gathered over the weekend, and the Les Halles shopping area.
Earlier Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez admitted police had “lost control” in some cities.
Protests first began last month with students demanding better school conditions escalated to take in a broader range of concerns with numbers at demonstrations bolstered by trade unions and various protest groups.
