United Nations Secretary-General Guterres delivered a speech at the second meeting of "Mobilize to Support Africa" ​​and pointed out that for African countries, the crisis has caused severe liquidity constraints, spending more than income, leading to increased deficits. As of June, 7 of the world’s 8 debt-affected countries are African countries, and 12 of the 23 debt-affected high-risk countries are African countries. He pointed out that if bold measures are not taken, Africa's liquidity challenge may escalate into a solvency crisis.

When the epidemic broke out in India, the World Health Organization expressed its worries. On the one hand, India’s huge population and on the other hand its weak basic health conditions. There are also some slums in India. The density of residents is surprising. If infection occurs, it will have an irreparable impact. Although India tried its best to prevent and control the epidemic from the beginning, neither the macro policy nor the specific implementation capacity could meet the requirements. The epidemic in India not only threatens ordinary people, but some Indian police and medical personnel have also become "high-risk" groups. Since October, the number of confirmed cases in India has increased by more than 70,000 on average. The cumulative number of cases in India is second only to the United States. Health experts warned that gatherings in India later this month and during major festivals in November may lead to the spread of the new crown virus.

The "Empire Data Bank" analyzed that the current epidemic has not yet ended, and it has become a top priority for companies to continuously adjust their original business models while maintaining operations. Various financial support policies, including delayed repayments, have limited effects. If the number of companies with difficulty in recovering revenue continues to increase, the trend of increasing bankruptcy cases will be difficult to change.
