central banks in many countries, including the UK, slashed interest rates. That should, in theory, make borrowing cheaper and encourage spending to boost the economy.
Global markets have since recovered some ground as governments have intervened. But some analysts have warned that they could be volatile until fears of a second wave of the pandemic are eased.

In the United States, the proportion of people out of work has hit 10.4%, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), signalling an end to a decade of expansion for one of the world's largest economies.
Millions of workers have also been put on government-supported job retention schemes as parts of the economy, such as tourism or hospitality, came to a standstill under lock-down.
However, the data differs between countries. France, Germany and Italy provide figures on applications, for example, whereas the UK counts workers currently enrolled in the scheme.
China and France, for example, have seen increases in hiring rates as shutdowns eased, according to networking platform LinkedIn.
Risk of recession
If the economy is growing, that generally means more wealth and more new jobs.
It's measured by looking at the percentage change in gross domestic product, or the value of goods and services produced, typically over three months or a year.
That's driven primarily by growth in countries such as India and China.
Recovery in big, services-reliant, economies that have been hit hard by the outbreak, such as the UK or Italy, is expected to be a slow process.

with airlines cutting flights and customers cancelling business trips and holidays.
Many countries introduced travel restrictions to try to contain the virus.

But as the spread of infections has eased in some areas, the industry has started to open back up.
Spain, for example, has reopened its borders to visitors from most of Europe without having to quarantine. For months it was under one of Europe's toughest lockdowns.
Travel companies also said that bookings from the UK had "exploded" after the government announced current restrictions will be eased.Brent crude is the benchmark used by Europe and the rest of the world. Its price dipped below $20, to the lowest level seen in 18 years.

Consumer confidence
Retail footfall also saw unprecedented lows as shoppers stayed at home in a bid to stop the spread of Covid-19.
Pedestrian numbers have since risen as lock-down measures have been rolled back, according to research firm Grasshopper,
Separate research suggests that consumers might still be feeling anxious about their return to stores.
More than half of UK customers expect they will now go shopping less often over the next one or two years, according to a survey of more than 1,000 people by accountancy giant EY.
Vaccine hopes
Governments around the world have pledged billions of dollars for a Covid-19 vaccine and treatment options.
A number of pharmaceutical firms are in a race to develop and test potential drugs that could help nations get back to "normal".Shares in some companies have shot up on the hopes that some will be approved and distributed at scale.
AstraZeneca's share price, for example, has hit record highs. The Drug company says it will be able to produce two billion doses of a vaccine.
"Until such medical interventions become available, no country is safe," the IMF said of the pandemic that has disrupted the global economy.How the COVID-19 crisis is affecting Pakistan's economy
Pakistan economy after covid 19
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.
cases of the corona-virus
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 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.The pandemic has also taken a devastating blow on the Pakistani economy.
"Pakistan's economy is shrinking
"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 GDP growth
Pakistan's exports primarily comprise of textile products. 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.Pakistan's public health system was overstretched long before the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. On average, Pakistan has one doctor for every 963 people and one hospital bed for every 1,608 people, according to UNDP figures. Pakistan faces a shortage of 200,000 doctors and 1.4 million nurses to cope with the crisis
