- The global economy is suffering due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with expectations of a significant downturn in economic activity in Q2 2020 and a potential global recession. The construction industry has been designated as essential in most areas, allowing work to continue despite disruptions.
- The residential construction sector was poised for continued growth entering 2020 but will now see declining housing starts, new orders, and demand due to social distancing and the economic downturn. Low mortgage rates and inventory should initially support home prices, but job losses could increase delinquencies over time.
- Nonresidential construction will also be disrupted, particularly sectors like oil/gas, commercial, office, lodging and transportation. Public spending had already softened

Global growth is moderatng as the recovery in trade
and manufacturing actvity loses steam. Despite
ongoing negotatons, trade tensions among major
economies remain elevated. These tensions, combined
with concerns about sofening global growth prospects, have weighed on investor sentment and contributed to
declines in global equity prices. Borrowing costs for
emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs)
have increased, in part as major advanced-economy
central banks contnue to withdraw policy
accommodaton in varying degrees. A strengthening
U.S. dollar, heightened financial market volatlity, and
rising risk premiums have intensified capital outlow
and currency pressures in some large EMDEs, with
some vulnerable countries experiencing substantal
financial stress. Energy prices have fluctuated markedly,
mainly due to supply factors, with sharp falls toward
the end of 2018. Economic actvity in the Euro Area has
been somewhat weaker than previously expected,
owing to slowing net exports. EMDE growth edged
down to an estmated 4.2 percent in 2018 as a number
of countries with elevated current account deficits
experienced substantal financial market pressures and
appreciable slowdowns in actvity. In low-income
countries (LICs), growth is firming as infrastructure

IMF Fiscal Monitor: Policies to support people during the COVID-19 pandemicTatianaApostolovich
The COVID-19 pandemic has struck against the backdrop of a preexisting sluggish global growth outlook, with low inflation and nominal interest rates. The pandemic has elevated the need for fiscal policy action to an unprecedented level. This issue of the Fiscal Monitor discusses the role of fiscal policy to save lives, protect the most-affected people and firms from income losses, unemployment, and bankruptcies, and reduce the likelihood that the pandemic results in a deep, long-lasting slump.

El avance tecnológico es una de las más importantes fuentes de crecimiento a largo plazo. Las tasas y los patrones de crecimiento varían considerablemente entre países y las diferencias en capacidades tecnológicas tienen un papel fundamental.
Pese a las dificultades que pueda entrañar la definición de alta tecnología, sí que es posible sintetizar
ciertos comportamientos propios de estas empresas, y de los mercados en los que operan, que condicionan su actividad.
Inicialmente parece necesario mencionar las condiciones medioambientales propias de los sectores de
alta tecnología que se resumen en la existencia de
niveles de incertidumbre muy elevados asociados a
diversos factores: 1) la entrada y salida constante
de competidores que suele producirse en estos
mercados, los cuales pueden proceder de los sectores más variados (McGrath, 1995); 2) la aparición
de nuevos mercados o la transformación radical de
los preexistentes a medida que las tecnología surgen y evolucionan (Shanklin y Ryans, 1987); 3) la
inseguridad acerca de cuáles serán las aplicaciones
comerciales más rentables de las nuevas tecnologías
(Macinnis y Heslop, 1990)
la importancia y la necesidad de la incorporación de la orientación al mercado como una cultura de gestión del negocio en las empresas de alta tecnología. La orientación al mercado entendemos que ejerce una influencia positiva sobre todas las actividades de la empresa y, en concreto, sobre las actividades de innovación. Así, los resultados obtenidos evidencian que las empresas más orientadas al mercado innovan mejor y obtienen mejores resultados en los productos que comercializan. Desde esta perspectiva, y dado el carácter estratégico de la innovación en los mercados de alta tecnología, es necesario que desde la dirección se asuma la coexistencia entre la orientación tecnológica, a veces presente en exceso, y la orientación al mercado.
Un producto de alta tecnología (High Tech, en inglés) es un objeto complejo, que responde a
necesidades de las personas y se obtiene a partir de tecnologías que están cambiando
constantemente. Las empresas que asumen su producción son aquellas de carácter altamente
competitivo y que disponen de una sólida base científico-tecnológica (Santos, 1995, p.2).
En otras palabras, son productos que resultan de la aplicación del estado más avanzado de
desarrollo en términos de tecnología, o sencillamente, la tecnología más avanzada disponible
en el momento.
Otra característica importante de los productos de alta tecnología, nos dicen Hills y Sarin
(2003), es que funcionan como parte de un amplio sistema de productos, más que como
productos separados (p.e impresora, escáner, software, servidor y red). De ahí que la
disponibilidad de productos complementarios y la compatibilidad con otros productos en un
sistema es crítico para el éxito o fracaso de nuevas tecnologías (p. 13).
Con los productos de alta tecnología, nos amplían Keegan y Green (2009), se usan estrategias
de mercadeo de posicionamiento

Provisional estimates of GDP for fy 2018 19 and final estimates of GDP for fy...Md. Mamun Hasan Biddut
According to the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS), Bangladesh GDP grew by 5.24 per cent during 2019-20 raising the per capita income by US$155 to US$2,064. This growth rate has been achieved when the global economy is contracting, in particular the whole developed world where according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) major economies are expected to contract by 2.4 per cent in 2020. The World Bank GDP projection for 2020 predicts a fall by 2.5 per cent for developing countries and 1.8 per cent for developed countries. Even the neighboring country India recorded a contraction of the economy by 23.9 per cent during the April-June quarter of 2020.
This growth rate is also much above the economic growth forecast provided for Bangladesh by the World Bank (WB) at 1.6 percent, International Monetary Fund (IMF) at 3.8 percent and Asian Development Bank (ADB) at 4.5 percent for 2020. While these forecast figures are for the calendar year 2020, but the BBS growth figure is for the 2019-20 financial year. In fact, the Bangladesh government believes that the economy is on track to achieve 8.2 per cent growth rate in 2020-21 and also expects the economy to rebound at a higher pace than before after the pandemic is over (FE, August, 28). There is an implicit message that the economy is not only trekking back to pre-pandemic levels but also will surpass that.

• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument

Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities.

construction companies to continue to work in the face of a multitude of disruptions.
