  • PIDE COVID-19 Newsletter E-Book
    i Newsletter Team Dr. Zulfiqar Ali Kalhoro Dr. Saud Ahmed Khan Dr. Hassan Rasool Dr. Amena Urooj Dr. Ashan Ul Haq Satti Fahd Zulfiqar Fizzah Khalid Butt Design Team Muhammad Siddiq Qureshi Fizzah Khalid Butt ii Foreword Since its inception in 1957, the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE) has been leading development policy research and debate in the country. Liberalization, protection, socioeconomic data collection and analysis, agriculture, and tax and policy are among areas that PIDE has either innovated or contributed. Quite responsibly, the PIDE went on a war footing to understand the impact of the outbreak, when COVID-19 pandemic hit us. We daily prepared research-based Bulletins, Blogs and Newsletters and updated a Dashboard for informing audiences at every level with analysis, ideas, news and statistics. We also created an online forum that met daily, bringing in a broad set of experts, business community and members of the civil society to understand the Corona crisis and develop an action plan in the light of the evolving situation. Many among us have been making video interviews on the Corona situation for digging up more useful information on what we at PIDE are referring to as the Corona War. The videos can be viewed at the PIDE’s YouTube channel. I am proud of the PIDE researchers who rose to the task and conducted research daily to keep us abreast on the many dimensions of the crisis. This eBook collects the newsletters we prepared during the first 6 weeks of the crisis. It gives a day by day breakdown of the events during the COVID-19 outbreak as it was happening.
