Synopsis and Subject Coverage
The spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has had a significant negative effect on the global economy. In response to the pandemic, most of the Asian countries have adopted appropriate monetary and fiscal policies to mitigate the effects of the pandemic. Similarly, the pandemic has impacted the green economy: for instance, with the stagnation of international travel (tourism) and reduction in global productions, risks to the environment have declined. As tourism and global economies recover, as new fiscal and monetary policies stimulate growth, the implications of such policies on green economy status will need to be evaluated. This special issue of BMEB will not only include papers that examine the effectiveness of fiscal and monetary policies on economic recovery but also on how those policies are likely to impact the green
economy profile of countries and the Asian region.
