Economic analysts have feared that the world may be a victim of severe economic recession. Oxfam's warning has increased further worries.

King's College London and National University of Australia have done a research, in which they estimate the effect of short-term of the coronavirus on global monetary poverty based on the World Bank poverty line at $ 1.90, $ 3.20 and $ 5.50 per day. According to a decade-long analysis of global progress, global poverty levels will rise for the first time since 1990 under all three scenarios. Its impact is sure to get worse in some parts of the world, such as North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, where it can end up to 30 years of progress.
