The global pandemic has been a huge test for economic forecasters. An event unprecedented in modern times has precipitated a contraction in the global economy far greater than in 2008-2009, and it unfolded over the course of weeks rather than quarters.
Economic policy discussions that take place at a global level are more often than not deliberations over the best way forward for advanced economies. The institutional and developmental realities in frontier markets mean that not only do policy objectives differ, but the policy tools available to authorities are in most cases much more limited.
Globally, human behaviour had already seen significant changes in recent years, and these changes have accelerated during the pandemic. Albeit painful and unwanted, the pandemic has arguably provided an opportune moment for creative destruction to take its course and for the private sector to develop industries that better suit the wants and needs of people. As such, one of the risks of pushing a Keynesian theme is that it will serve to support some industries that policy-makers have decided upon. As an aside, those decisions would most likely be accompanied by lobbying and uncompetitive endeavours, although even if we assume benevolence, the government cannot know the needs of people better than they do themselves, and cannot act more efficiently than the market mechanism. Invariably, this would hinder the development of new industries.

While it is true that Australia’s experience with the COVID-19 pandemic has at least to an extent fitted Australia’s traditional moniker as the ‘lucky country’, the same cannot be said for country’s travel and tourism industry. Australia, like many other countries in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, has taken a firm stance on borders, with international arrivals severely restricted since the start of the pandemic. Inbound tourists to Australia are estimated to have declined more than 80% in 2020 relative to 2019, comparable with the 83% decline estimated for APAC in aggregate.

Over the past thirty years Richard Nixon’s famous comment “we are all Keynesians now” could hardly have rung more hollow. Since the introduction of inflation targeting, economists and the market have looked to monetary policy as the tool for demand management in the economy—fiscal policy barely had a look in. But now the consensus is starting to shift, and one of the most important legacies of the pandemic may well be a more balanced approach to economic policy.
