"This is an economic recession that we designed ourselves.” This statement was made by Gregory Mankiw of Harvard University in his interview with Michael Klein of Tufts University.
President Joko Widodo held a meeting with ministers and Coordination Task Force for Covid-19, Doni Monardo at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Monday (20/7/2020). The meeting discussed the formation of the Covid-19 Handling Committee and the National Economic Recovery.
"This is an economic recession that we designed ourselves.” This statement was made by Gregory Mankiw of Harvard University in his interview with Michael Klein of Tufts University.
Mankiw is right. To overcome the economic crisis triggered by this pandemic, we have intentionally asked, even forced the people, as much as possible, to stay at home. This is a crisis that we have designed ourselves. However, we had to do it to prevent coronavirus transmission.
