By 50% Due To COVID-19 Outbreak And
Lockdown (Junaidi, 2020). ... The Biggest
And Most Immediate Impact Of The
Lockdown Is The Halt In Business
Operations
16. The Outbreak Of Coronavirus Disease
(COVID-19) Has Severely Affected The
Global And Pakistani Economy. Major
Victims Of The COVID-19 Outbreak Are
Micro, Small, And Medium-Sized
Enterprises (Msmes). This Article Aims To
Assess The Impact Of COVID-19 Outbreak
On These Businesses And Provide Policy
Recommendations To Help Msmes In
Reducing Business Losses And Survive
Through The Crisis. We Adopted An
Exploratory Methodology With
Comprehensively Reviewing The Available
Literature, Including Policy Documents,
Research Papers, And Reports In The
Relevant Field. Further, To Add Empirical
Evidence, We Collected Data From 184
Pakistani Msmes By Administering An
Online Questionnaire. The Data Were
Analyzed Through Descriptive Statistics.
17. Pakistan's already fragile economy had
only just been moving towards stability
when the health crisis struck. Experts fear
that the pandemic's economic fallout will
considerably derail the country's recovery
process.
Pakistan has so far registered nearly
270,000 cases of the coronavirus and over
5,700 related deaths. A week ago,
President Arif Alvi congratulated the
nation for its "victory" against COVID-19
during an interview with a
18. Local Broadcaster. Alvi Said The
Government Successfully Saved The
Country's Poorest From The Financial
Impact Of The Pandemic.
At The Time Of Alvi's Commendation, The
Confirmed Number Of Covid-19 Patients
In Pakistan Stood At 259,998 And 2,085
New Cases Had Been Recorded In The Last
24 Hours.
Prime Minister Imran Khan's Government
Says The Drop In The Daily Number Of
New Coronavirus Cases In July Is Due To
Its "Smart Lockdown" Strategy. But
Observers Say The Trend Could Be A
Result Of Misreporting And Inadequate
Testing.
19. The pandemic has also taken a
devastating blow on the Pakistani
economy.
"Pakistan's economy is shrinking,
unemployment is rising and various
sectors are in crisis," warned Zafar Moti,
the former director of the Karachi Stock
Exchange (KSE). Moti told DW he is less
concerned about Pakistan's financial
markets and more concerned about the
long-term impact of the pandemic.
Pakistan's exports primarily comprise of
textile products.
20. These exports are down since the COVID-
19 crisis started, with some orders even
being canceled. Moti does not
expect demand to pick up again post
pandemic. "All of this will negatively
impact foreign reserves and ultimately the
currency value. In the long run, financial
markets will also be negatively affected,"
he said.
When Khan took power in 2018,
Pakistan's GDP growth was around 5.8%;
now it is 0.98% and is likely to decline
further. The country's fiscal deficit is
almost 10% and revenues have
plummeted in the past two years
