Ovaj završni rad analizira ekonomske posljedice pandemije COVID-19 i njezin utjecaj na globalnu trgovinu. Rad pruža sveobuhvatan pregled ekonomske dimenzije pandemije COVID-19 i njezinog utjecaja na globalnu trgovinu, pomažući čitateljima da bolje razumiju kompleksnost i dubinu izazova s kojima se svijet suočavao tijekom ove izvanredne situacije. Kroz proučavanje poremećaja u lancima opskrbe, smanjenja potražnje, promjena potrošačkih navika i pada međunarodne trgovine, istražuje se kako su različite zemlje reagirale na ovaj izazov i kojim su se faktorima postigle ekonomska stabilnost tijekom pandemije. Također se istražuju inicijative poduzete na globalnoj razini radi ublažavanja negativnih ekonomskih učinaka i poticanja oporavka globalne trgovine. Kroz analizu relevantnih istraživanja, podataka i stručnih izvora, ovaj rad pruža uvid u dubinu i složenost ekonomskih posljedica pandemije COVID-19 na globalnu trgovinu te identificira ključne lekcije izvučene iz ovog iskustva. Pandemija je dovela do značajnog ekonomskog pada u mnogim zemljama zbog mjera zaključavanja, smanjene potrošnje i ograničenja putovanja pa se proučava dubina ovih gubitaka i kako su se razlikovali u različitim regijama svijeta.This final paper analyzes the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on global trade.
