"The Corona 19 crisis is the most urgent and uncertain situation," said Georgieva.

In a post on the IMF homepage, Georgieva said, "Corona 19 is a global health emergency that was unexpected in January."

"We hope that the economic impact of this situation will end in a short time, but unforeseen events can threaten a weak economic recovery."

[GEORGEVA / IMF GOVERNOR (Last 13th): The best scenario we still believe is that a rapid rebound can occur after a sharp recession like the 'V'.]

The IMF warned that the Corona 19 event could have a negative impact on the global economy in a report ahead of a meeting of the top 20 finance ministers in Saudi Arabia starting Tuesday.

If uncertainty continues, slowing growth in China could hurt the global supply chain and undermine investor sentiment, impacting the global economy.

The IMF also ordered active fiscal policy in each country, saying the economic recovery prospects remain weak.

In particular, Korea is mentioned as a country that has financial capacity but does not reach the potential growth rate, and reaffirmed its need for expansionary fiscal and stimulus monetary policy.
