(HBO) – The complicated developments of COVID-19 have seriously affected all social aspects, especially economic development. Growth decline was recorded in many fields. In the first quarter of 2020, the gross regional domestic product (GRDP) was estimated at 6.62 percent. The figure is projected at 4.57-5.86 percent in the second quarter due to the impact of the pandemic on business and production activities.

As of April 15, 136 local businesses and one
cooperative dissolved, while 1,392 household business establishments registered
for halting production. The number of firms having to withdraw from the market
or suspend operation is expected to surge in the coming time, especially
small-and medium-sized ones.
Along with businesses, cooperatives and business
households, workers, especially low-income earners, have been seriously
affected. As many as 275 employees had their labour contracts terminated, while
over 1,330 others had to halt working during COVID-19.
Promoting the economy after the pandemic is an
extremely important task to achieve socio-economic development targets in 2020.
