Covid-19’s Global Impact: Fiscal Action – Go Big, Go Now
Pernille Henneberg & Catherine L Mann (Citi GPS) | How much fiscal easing is going to be needed to offset the upcoming losses to GDP from COVID-19?

In theory, and as illustrated above, if immediate fiscal action stems the deteriorating conditions now, then a large fiscal effort should not be needed.
