Introduction

COVID-19 is a humanitarian crisis on a global scale. The virus continues to spread throughout the globe, placing health systems under unprecedented stress in the battle to save lives. The human scale of this tragedy is set to worsen as the virus spreads to lower income countries with weaker healthcare systems.

A further challenge is the uncertainty about COVID-19, including in terms of the scale and pace of infection; how long and widespread shutdown measures will prove necessary; the prospects for treatments to better manage symptoms,  allowing  health  services  to  focus  only  on  the  most  serious  cases;  and  the  risk  of “second wave” infections as the virus moves around the globe. The virus is proceeding in waves, with countries succumbing and  set  to  recover at  different  times.  What  is  clear  is  that  the  virus  and  its aftermath looks likely to be with us for some time (https://read.oecd-ilibrary.org/view)

There is a clear need to keep trade flowing, both to ensure the supply of essential products and to send a signal of confidence for the global economy. Trade is essential to save both lives and livelihoods. But  keeping trade  flowing  requires  co-operation  and  trust for  example,  that  the  market  will  supply essentials, that countries will not impose export restrictions, and that imports do not pose health risks. This is a particular challenge at a time of trade tensions, where the international trading system was already subject  to  an  increased  number  of  new  restrictions  and  distortions,  from  tariff  increases  among  major traders,  to  significant  government  support  in  key  sectors.  Efforts  at  dialogue  to  manage  and  prevent tensions through ongoing negotiations are now complicated by mobility restrictions. But in the context of the severe economic strain from COVID-19, it is more important than ever to avoid escalation of the current trade tensions.

Statement of the problem

In order to assess the possible impact of the coronavirus on the economy, it is important not only to focus on the epidemiological profile of the virus but also on the ways that consumers, businesses, and governments may respond to it. COVID-19 will most directly shape economic losses through supply chains, demand, and financial markets, affecting business investment, household consumption, and international trade. And it will do so both in traditional, textbook supply-and-demand ways and through the introduction of potentially large levels of uncertainty.

Objective of the study

The objectives of the study are;

1. To ascertain the threat of coronavirus on international market
2. To ascertain the relationship between coronavirus and world economy
3. To ascertain challenges of international market during this epidemic period

 

Research hypotheses

HO: there is no threat of coronavirus on international market

HI:   there is threat of coronavirus on international market

Hypothesis Two

HO:  there are no challenges of international market during this epidemic period

HI:  there are challenges of international market during this epidemic period

 

 

Significance of the study

The study will be beneficial to students and general public. The study will give a clear insight on the impact of infectious epidemic on international market. A case study of coronavirus. The study will enlighten the economic importance of coronavirus. The study will also serve as a reference to other researcher that will embark on the related topic.

Scope and limitation of the study

The scope of the study covers the impact of infectious epidemic on international market. The researcher encounters some constrain which limited the scope of the study;

1. a) AVAILABILITY OF RESEARCH MATERIAL: The research material available to the researcher is insufficient, thereby limiting the study
2. b) TIME: The time frame allocated to the study does not enhance wider coverage as the researcher has to combine other academic activities and examinations with the study.
