<p>Cash strapped Pakistan may face losses up to $ 61 million due to the deadly coronavirus outbreak, the ADB has said in its assessment report on the impact of the novel <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/coronavirus-cases-surge-past-100000-worldwide-21-cases-found-on-ship-off-san-francisco-284873">COVID-19</a> outbreak.</p>

<p>The virus that first emerged in China's Wuhan city in the Hubei province in December last year has spread to 97 countries and has infected 1,02,180 people, including 80,651 in China, according to the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus tracker.</p>

<p>In Pakistan, six cases of coronavirus have been reported and all have a history of travel to Iran. Three of the cases are in Karachi and three in Gilgit-Baltistan.</p>

<p>The Manila-based Asian Development Bank has projected that Pakistan's economy may face $16 to $61 million losses due to the coronavirus outbreak, The Express Tribune quoted a report published on Friday.</p>

<p>"In the moderate case scenario, the projected losses to be faced by Pakistan are $34.2 million. In the worst-case scenario, the projected losses to be faced by Pakistan are $60.8 million," the report said.</p>

<p>The report also gave estimates about global losses due to the novel <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/tourism-industry-across-the-world-takes-a-hit-as-covid-19-spreads-more-widely-284923">virus</a>.</p>

<p>The bank gave a "hypothetical worst-case scenario" that shows Pakistan's economy sustaining a whopping $5 billion loss due to the spread of the virus.</p>

<p>In this case, Pakistan's GDP will loss 1.57 per cent and 946,000 people will be unemployed, the report said.</p>

<p>The report showed that the global GDP will also be affected by $77 billion in the best-case scenario to $347 billion in the worst-case scenario, with China affected the most.</p>

<p>In a one-page paper issued by Tola Associate, tax and corporate advisors also claimed that Pakistan's economy will sustain $5 billion loss due to coronavirus. The firm based its claim on an ADB publication.</p>

<p>According to the estimates published by the ADB the impact of the coronavirus, in terms of the global GDP ranges from $77 billion in best case scenario to $347 billion in the worst-case scenario or 0.1 per cent to 0.4 per cent of the global GDP.</p>

<p>The report said the total losses likely to be sustained by Pakistan will be the only $16.23 million in the best-case scenario.</p>

<p>It projected that in best case scenario, Pakistan's agriculture and mining sector could sustain a loss of $5.5 million, business trade, personal and public service $5.54 million, hotels and restaurants $0.67 million; light and heavy manufacturing $3.6 million and transport services $0.92 million, the report said.</p>

<p>In the worst-case scenario, Pakistan's agriculture and mining sector will face $21.7 million losses; business and trade $18.8 million losses, hotel and restaurants $2.4 million losses, light and heavy engineering $14.6 million losses, and transport services $3.4 million, it said.</p>

<p>In addition to the global slowdown, the fear caused by the COVID-19 is going to cause an estimated loss of $1.5 trillion across the globe in a hypothetical worst-case scenario. The lockdown has slowed down the pace of the Chinese economy if compared to the last 30 years.</p>

<p>Coronavirus losses will depend on the magnitude of the problem and the scale of the underlying uncertainties in countries which have strong trade and production linkages with China, according to the Tola Associate.</p>
