  • Lockdown Measures Continue to Shift with Evolving Pandemic and Socioeconomic Tensions
    Worldwide – May 20, 2020 Lockdown Measures Continue to Shift with Evolving Pandemic and Socioeconomic Tensions Authors: Stephanie Kiefer, Senior Regional Analyst – Europe, the Caucasus, & Central Asia Samson Sampson, Senior Regional Analyst – Middle East & North Africa Kimberly Doyle, Senior Regional Analyst – Sub-Saharan Africa Zachary Nelson, Senior Regional Analyst – Latin America & the Caribbean Josh Strongin, Lead Intelligence Analyst – North America Zachary Huffman, Regional Analyst – Asia/Pacific Contact: [email protected] OVERVIEW The global number of confirmed cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is nearing 4.9 million people and more than 322,000 associated deaths have been reported, according to Johns Hopkins University. A report released on May 19 by the World Economic Forum indicated that surveyed risk managers anticipate a prolonged global recession. The head of the International Monetary Fund cautioned this week that a full global economic recovery is unlikely before next year and encouraged governments to avoid protectionist measures. On Tuesday, the World Bank chief warned that the pandemic and associated economic crisis could drive about 60 million people worldwide into extreme poverty, underscoring how the most vulnerable in societies have been and may continue to be among those hit hardest by the pandemic and associated economic crisis. Active outbreaks and hotspots continue to evolve with reopening processes around the globe. While new cases in Russia appear to have stabilized and the United States is seeing the ongoing phased easing of state-by-state measures, Brazil’s COVID-19 epidemic is continuing to grow. Many European countries are advancing their phased withdrawals of lockdowns with increasing hope for summer travel, particularly for countries with a substantial portion of their economies dependent upon tourism.

    15 February 2019 Submission from NZ Airports on the Issues Paper - NZ Productivity Commission’s Inquiry into Local Government Funding and Financing Thank you for the opportunity to comment on your Issues Paper. NZ Airports’ comments in this submission respond to the following points raised in the paper’s summary of questions: • The extent that tourism growth is resulting in funding pressures and what councils are experiencing the greatest pressure (Question 5) • The scope for local government to manage cost pressures (Question 12) • The funding and financing options to help councils facing population decline (Question 39) • The need for new delivery models involving central government and how to make these effective (Question 40) • Changes to the local government funding framework that would be beneficial (Question 43) • Changes needed to address financing barriers (Question 46) • Central government policies that could support private investment in infrastructure and services (Question 48) Summary of NZ Airports’ submission points 1. Small airports in regions distant from the main centres are a stark illustration of why the current local government funding and financing systems are no longer fit- for-purpose. 2. Our national air network - and the connectivity, tourism and cohesion benefits that it brings to the country – is reliant, at the outer edges of the network, on local government funding. That system is cracking under the strain of its multiple responsibilities. 3. Small airports are inherently unable to operate commercially without subsidisation. While some support for these airports already exists, it is too little, patchy and unfair, with no certainty that enables planning and investing for productive or efficient use of established airport infrastructure.
