Solidarity in Response to the Consequences of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has dealt a severe blow around the world to all spheres of life that affect the well-being of society, including the economic and social development.

In total, according to the UN, almost 16 trillion dollars have been allocated as a means of stimulating the economy.
