Özet:

The aim of this study is to explore the effects of the COVID-19 epidemic that occurred in China's Wuhan near the end of 2019 and that affects the entire world in the light of selected sectors, on the world and the economy of Turkey. The COVID-19 epidemic, one of the greatest crises that humanity has faced since the Great Buhran, and especially during the time of the most intense globalization, has profoundly affected the global economy by reversing the positive effects of globalization. With the COVID-19 epidemic, supply and demand in the world have been reduced, and this has led to a domino effect, which has led to the stop of production and some economic activities, disruptions in supply chains, closure of many and increased unemployment. The negative effects of the infection have led to the economic reduction of the countries and the negative view of global growth in 2020, where the epidemic is the most intense. The increasing number of cases has pushed all countries to international closures and to take a series of measures within their own borders. This has profoundly affected the tourism, aviation and banking sectors, which have a dynamic structure in Turkey as well as all over the world. Furthermore, the epidemic crisis that emerged in the period in which Turkey has not yet fully overcome the effects of the 2018 crisis has led to an increase in public debt and currency gap, currency volatility, reduction in reserves and the loss of value of the TL.
