The COVID-19 has spread rapidly after it was first announced in December 2019 bringing economic activity to a near-standstill elsewhere as the ECO countries introduced tight restrictions on the movement, to prevent their peoples from further spread of the virus.
Since the onset of COVID-19 outbreak, the ECO Secretariat has been actively involved in guidelining its member countries thereby providing practical solutions leading to a safe exit from the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic. Guidelining has been done because the COVID-19 effects represent the largest economic shock not only for the ECO region but the entire world as such experience has not been seen in past decades.
The COVID-19 Advisory describes both, the practical guidelines and the activities undertaken in ECO Member States in following such guidelines. The Advisory also pictures immediate and near-term outlook for the impact of the pandemic, in the form of reports, as well as its long-term effects, in the form of brief analyses, on the prospects of economic growth in the region.
