Abstract

This chapter explores government responses to rebuild their economies post COVID-19. First, the chapter briefly reviews the background of the virus outbreak and its consequences that led to unprecedented actions of governments. Second, the chapter analyses the government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic to overcome the health–social–economic crisis in 129 countries from Africa (27), America (23), Asia (27), Europe (48), and Oceania (4). Next, the time-dependent expectations in rebuilding the economies are discussed. The chapter concludes with takeaway messages to address an uncertain future.
