The COVID-19 pandemic will go down as a watershed moment in the history of human civilization. The World Bank in its report on Global Economic Prospects (GEP, June 2020) observed, ‘The COVID-19 global recession will be the deepest since the end of Second World War, with the largest fraction of economies experiencing declines in per capita output since 1870.’ Further, GEP noted, ‘Since 1870, the global economy has experienced 14 global recessions. Current projections imply that the COVID-19 global recession will be the fourth deepest in this period and the most severe since the end of Second World War.’ Global growth forecasts have been downwardly revised to negative 5.2 percent. The report also predicted Bangladesh’s GDP growth at 1.6 percent in 2020 and 1 percent in 2021, a significant dip from a rate that hovered around 8 percent over the previous two years. Unlike the Global Financial Crisis, which originated in the financial sector and gradually impacted the rest of the world’s economy, the COVID-19 pandemic has struck like a seismic event, stopping all economic activities at one go. While the pandemic is impacting businesses of all sizes, micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are hit especially hard due to pre-existing vulnerabilities and their lower resilience. The MSME sector is a key driver of the national economy in Bangladesh.
