The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in significant and far-reaching economic impacts on a global scale. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the effects of Covid-19 on the global financial crisis from multiple perspectives. To do so, we review the existing literature on the crisis and its impact on the global economy and present a preliminary analysis of its causes and effects. We propose a set of methods for studying the crisis in greater detail and present the results of our experiments. Our findings indicate that Covid-19 has led to macroeconomic impacts such as decreased global GDP, higher unemployment rates, and a decline in international trade. At the industry-specific level, the pandemic has had varying impacts across different sectors, with some industries, such as travel and tourism, being hit particularly hard. Government responses to the pandemic have also varied, with some countries implementing more effective policies than others. Supply chain disruptions have affected industries globally, and long-term effects of the pandemic are expected to be far-reaching. Our analysis reveals the complex and evolving impact of Covid-19 on the global financial crisis, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary perspectives to fully understand the issue. We also discuss the implications of our findings, including the potential for future research to inform policy decisions aimed at mitigating the impact of Covid-19 on the global economy. In general, our study provides a comprehensive perspective on the impact of Covid-19 on the global financial crisis, highlighting the need for continued research and collaboration across disciplines to fully understand the extent of the pandemic's economic impacts and inform effective policy responses.
