“The global fiscal response to COVID-19 has been unprecedented: as of September 2020, governments have already provided about $11.7 trillion, equivalent to 13.9 per cent of global GDP. However, fiscal policy is constrained in some of the worst affected emerging markets and developing economies, where low tax bases and limited access to borrowing restrict the scope of government support, highlighting the need for access to additional resources and more efficient spending. The bulk of fiscal support has taken the form of cash transfers and additional resources for health services. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) COVID-19 Policy Tracker contains very few examples of fiscal policies specifically targeting the agricultural sector and none targeting the environment. So far, green measures account for less than 0.2 per cent of total COVID stimulus spending allocated by the world’s 50 largest economies.”
