Coronavirus: Guterres, we risk global recession

The coronavirus "is infecting the global economy" and the pandemic creates a "real and growing risk of a global recession". This was stated by United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. "No country can face it alone," the secretary general wrote in an editorial in the Portuguese newspaper Publico. "More than ever - he says -, governments must cooperate to revive economies, expand public investment, promote trade and guarantee support for people and communities".
