Influence of coronavirus on your pension March 11, 2020 The coronavirus and the low oil price have consequences for the global economy. Saudi Arabia's decision to drastically cut oil prices and the spread of the coronavirus are having a negative impact on the global economy. World trade, supply chains and tourism are suffering from the quarantine measures introduced by several countries due to the coronavirus outbreak. This also has repercussions on the stock markets, which are currently volatile. OECD lowers global economy growth forecast The global economy is suffering from the effects of the corona virus. The OECD expects global economic growth to grow by 2.4% as a result of the virus. That is 0.5% lower than previous growth estimates. The growth rate is the lowest since the financial crisis in 2008. A number of countries may even experience a contraction in the economy. Central banks intervene A number of Asian central banks, including the Chinese central bank, eased monetary policy to support the economy. The US central bank ('Federal Reserve' or 'Fed') also cut interest rates in an attempt to give the economy a helping hand. Low interest rates are favorable for bond investors. Equities can also react positively to this, because a lower interest rate is favorable for companies. The question is, however, how effective a further cut in interest rates will be. Uncertainty is part of investing You should not be alarmed by short-term fluctuations, as a pension fund we invest for the long term.
