Finance & Development: Policies, Politics, and Pandemics (June 2020)
This is a quarterly publication of the International Monetary Fund. From the Editor's Letter: "This issue features diverse articles through the lens of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019]. Jeff Frieden, Andrés Velasco, and others examine the importance of institutions, identity, and trust. Antoinette Sayeh weighs policy solutions as this crisis robs millions of migrants of work opportunities, slashing remittances, the single most important flow of income for many poor countries. Other articles discuss the need for social cohesion and solidarity, with policies that protect and lift the most vulnerable as jobs disappear and inequities deepen. Managing the effects of the pandemic forces a real discussion of how best to implement the policy response to reach all segments of the population. To a large extent, economic policy will shape society's resilience to the emergency and its aftermath."

Navigating COVID-19 in Asia and the Pacific
From the Introduction: "The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is presenting unprecedented health, economic, and social challenges throughout the world. Infections have claimed nearly three-quarters of a million lives and containment strategies have disrupted nearly every aspect of people's routines. As the pandemic continues to evolve through the second half of 2020, efforts to protect livelihoods imperiled by the coronavirus resurgence, safely return social activities to normal functioning, and support struggling economies across the globe must contend with uncertainties that, for many, point to an unparalleled pace of change. The crisis calls for collective ideas. This publication gathers blogs and short policy pieces contributed by Asian Development Bank (ADB) staff and experts in an attempt to tackle immediate challenges and prepare for what may lie beyond the horizon. It brings together snapshots of intellectual efforts that aim to help make sense of unprecedented times."

Collective Resilience: How We've Protected Our Mental Health During Covid-19
From the Executive Summary: "Covid-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] is an unprecedented crisis. Billions of people have had to contend with loneliness, anxiety, boredom and grief during the triple crisis of a global pandemic, a brutal economic downturn, and a profound social and cultural dislocation. The impacts on our states of mind have been immense, with much discussion of a 'perfect storm' or 'tsunami' for mental health. But there is also another story to be told: one of resilience, innovation, self-reliance and mutual aid. This report maps some of the emerging positive practices that have helped us through Covid-19. It is especially (though not exclusively) focused on young people, and interested in collective approaches rather than just individual self-care. Above all, it asks how we can hold on to the best of what has emerged over the past few months, and build on these successes as we move beyond the initial phase of the crisis."

Governance Preparedness: Initial Lessons from COVID-19
From the Executive Summary: "COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] has demonstrated how failure to adequately consider the importance of governance globally and nationally has undermined pandemic preparedness. The success of any efforts to redress this failure, including reform of existing governance arrangements, will be contingent on an effective multilateral order that is committed to providing sufficient financial and political support to global institutions, laws, and norms."

Global Governance of Access to Countermeasures
From the Introduction: "Access to countermeasures is critical for preventing, detecting and responding to disease outbreaks that may escalate into health emergencies. We use 'countermeasures' to refer to personal protective equipment (PPE), therapeutics, diagnostics and vaccines. Not only are countermeasures necessary for direct response, such as protecting health workers or treating patients, they can also ease public panic, guide government responses, and restore economic and social activity. Ensuring 'access' - that countermeasures reach people in a timely manner, in adequate volumes, at acceptable levels of quality and at affordable prices - requires concerted international action. No country is self-sufficient in the research, development and production of all countermeasures. Lower-income countries, smaller (even wealthy) countries, and/or those without domestic manufacturing capacity for any given product face heightened difficulties securing access."

Curing What Ails Us: How COVID-19 Reveals What's Wrong with Our Economy and What Working People Are Doing to Fix it
From the Executive Summary: "The COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic brings out the angels and demons of human nature. We're witness to daily moments of cruelty and heroism, fear and resilience, despair and hope. For all of the challenges, a reckoning like this can lead to positive change. COVID-19 is forcing us to confront uncomfortable realities and is uniting workers to demand their rightful share of the American promise. This report aims to be a small part of that conversation by identifying some of the roots of the injustices on display in this moment and by connecting the power that working people possess today to previous generations' struggles for a more humane society."

How Immigrants Can Help the 'Transition to a Great Economy' After COVID-19
From the Document: "The impact of the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic in the US has been pervasive and extreme. It has caused a death toll higher than 100,000 (as of May 27, 2020) and it has ushered an economic contraction with the unemployment rate at 15% nationally (as of April 2020) and a decline of US Gross Domestic Product by 4.8% just in the first quarter of 2020. Families have been left struggling and in economic hardships. [...] Besides these material changes, the pandemic has also brought insidious changes in people's attitudes. The fear of a virus originated from abroad, namely from China, has increased hostility towards Chinese, Chinese-Americans, and immigrants in general. [...] The most recent executive order is in line with several actions of the current administration aimed at reducing, slowing and making harder legal immigration, while at the same time doubling down on enforcement and deporting undocumented immigrants. [...] What is most discouraging of these policies is that the President regularly claims their rationale to be a benefit for US workers and for the US economy. [...] I will argue that such a vision is based on an erroneous understanding of the working of the US economy. In place of closing, America, I will propose how and why more open immigration policies should be an essential part of the economic recover during the reopening."

Refugees and Asylum Seekers Can Help US Rebuild After COVID-19
From the Document: "When we think of refugees and asylum seekers, we often think of destitute individuals who are fleeing war or other crises. We also tend to think of these individuals as only needing help, not the extent that they can help us. But those fleeing war, persecution, and other crises have long been an important part of American society and have greatly contributed to our economic growth. They can be an important part of our economy and society as we move forward from the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] crisis."

COVID-19: Federal Efforts Could Be Strengthened by Timely and Concerted Actions, Report to Congressional Committees
From the Highlights: "As of September 10, 2020, the U.S. had over 6.3 million cumulative reported cases of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] and over 177,000 reported deaths, according to federal agencies. The country also continues to experience serious economic repercussions and turmoil. Four relief laws, including the CARES [Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security] Act, were enacted as of September 2020 to provide appropriations to address the public health and economic threats posed by COVID-19. As of July 31, 2020, the federal government had obligated a total of $1.6 trillion and expended $1.5 trillion of the COVID-19 relief funds as reported by federal agencies on USAspending.gov. The CARES Act includes a provision for GAO [Government Accountability Office] to report bimonthly on its ongoing monitoring and oversight efforts related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This third report examines key actions the federal government has taken to address the COVID-19 pandemic and evolving lessons learned relevant to the nation's response to pandemics."

Information Battleground: Vaccines
From the Document: "Following a variety of lockdown measures, governments around the world face high expectations for economic recovery and a return of social life - expectations that heavily rely on the availability of an effective vaccine against COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] infections. Questions around access to an effective vaccine in sufficient quantity have intensified competition and tension, as governments seek to conclude agreements with promising vaccine developers. This competition threatens to further fuel the use of disinformation around efforts of some governments to manage public expectations; to exploit feelings of fear and uncertainty; to gain an edge in vaccine research; and to favorably shape international opinion about a states' role as a responsible stakeholder. In this context, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell has warned of a 'global battle of narratives', as select governments have actively engaged in disinformation to undermine the credibility of other states. In addition, disinformation on the origin of the coronavirus outbreak, its spread and ways of protecting against it have created conditions for an 'infodemic' that risk undermining official health advice."

Ethics of Immigration and Economic Recovery
From the Document: "COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] has changed our world. One of the ways it has is by massively reducing international mobility. We travel much less for business and pleasure, of course. But international migration has been limited significantly as well. To name but one example, early on in the crisis, the Trump administration banned issuing new green cards for most immigrants."

Tale of Two Pandemics: How COVID-19 Exposed Governance Gaps in Authoritarian States Testimony of: Joanna Rohozińska, 'Resident Program Director Europe'
From the Introduction: "The COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic and attendant 'infodemic' exposed and exacerbated transparency and governance gaps across Europe and Eurasia. The pandemic was - and continues to be - an unprecedented stress test for democratic resilience, one that the Belarusian regime has failed spectacularly, demonstrating the impotence and lack of sustainability inherent in authoritarian structures. Spontaneous civic activism filled the gap left by the state's failure to address or even acknowledge the pandemic, which exposed how disconnected the country's leadership was from the concerns of its citizens. Suddenly, more than two decades since coming to power, 'batka' - Lukashenka's nickname which means father in Belarusian - was no longer the fatherly protector of the nation. He was an authoritarian relic of the Soviet past that the Belarusian people have collectively transcended. What distinguishes democracies from other forms of government is their ability to learn lessons, adapt and evolve to become more resilient and better serve the interest of the people. So far, President Lukashenka is instead opting for repression and retrenchment. Despite these authoritarian tactics the Belarusian nation has been born and garnered admiration from all corners of the world."
