In this context, with the emergence of the global epidemic named COVID-19 in Wuhan city of China and its rapid spread to the world has disrupted both the Chinese economy and the world economy as well as its alarming effects on human life. Besides, the great economic effects of the pandemic have become more evident day by day, with people staying at home, closing most of the workplaces, canceling flights and closing the borders of countries. Due to the spread of the virus, it is seen that China’s GDP, foreign direct investment and trade declined in the first two months of 2020 and similar effect were experienced in other countries. In this context, the aim of this study is to examine the effects of the COVID-19 global epidemic on the Chinese economy.

COVID-19 KÜRESEL SALGINININ ÇİN EKONOMİSİNE ETKİLERİ ÜZERİNE BİR İNCELEME

Abstract

Çin, günümüzde dünya ekonomisinin en önemli aktörlerinden birisidir. Bu nedenle, Çin ekonomisinde ortaya çıkan dalgalanmaların iniş ve çıkışların dünya ekonomisi üzerinde büyük etkiye sahip olduğu söylenebilir. Bu çerçevede, Çin’in Wuhan şehrinde COVID-19 adlı küresel salgınının ortaya çıkması ve dünyaya hızla yayılmasıyla, insan hayatı üzerinde endişe verici etkilerinin yanı sıra hem Çin ekonomisini hem de dünya ekonomisini sekteye uğratmıştır. Ayrıca insanların evde kapalı kalması, işyerlerinin büyük bir kısmının kapatılması, uçuşların iptal edilmesi ve ülkelerin sınırlarını kapatması ile pandeminin büyük ekonomik etkileri gün geçtikçe daha da belirginleşmeye başlamıştır. Virüsün yayılması nedeniyle 2020 yılının ilk iki ayında Çin’in GSYH’sinde, doğrudan yabancı yatırımlarında ve ticaretinde düşüşlerin ortaya çıktığı ve diğer ülkelerde de benzer etkilerin yaşandığı görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışmanın amacı, COVID-19 küresel salgınının Çin ekonomisine etkilerini incelemektir.
