India's LockdownCEPR Policy Insight No 102Debraj Ray, S Subramanian, Lore Vandewalle On March 24, 2020, the Government of India ordered a nationwide lockdown for 21 days as a preventive measure against the spread of the coronavirus. The lockdown - in full force as we write - restricts 1.3 billion people from leaving their homes. Transport services are suspended, educational institutions are closed, and factories are shut down. This is in line with the measures imposed in most European countries and in the United States, but the sheer scale of the measure- as in the case of most policies in India- is intimidating. Add to this the grim truth of Indian occupational structure and poverty, and you would likely predict what we now see: unending streams of migrants trying to find their way home, the fear of loss of all income, deep privations, and even (in the space of days) hunger, starvation and death. |
Born Out of Necessity: A Debt Standstill for COVID-19CEPR Policy Insight No 103Patrick Bolton, Lee. C Buchheit, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, Mitu Gulati, Chang-Tai Hsieh, Ugo Panizza, Beatrice Weder di Mauro Many low and middle income countries may face problems servicing their external debts while addressing the COVID-19 emergency. Urgent action is needed to prevent disorderly defaults and litigations. This Policy Insight describes a mechanism to implement a debt standstill which would free significant resources to cover some of the most immediate costs of the COVID-19 crisis. |
