Almost all countries in the world are involved in the world trade of financial services. However, whereas for most countries the export of financial services is only a side result of their foreign economic activities, for some countries it composes a constitutive source of income. The purpose of the current research is to determine the factors that influence the export of financial services thereby explaining the differences in geographic allocation of financial services export throughout the world. For achieving this purpose, such research methodology as analysis of selected literature on financial services, an expert survey, as well as mathematical processing of the obtained research data have been used. The  result of the research has reflected common factors, which according to the financial experts’ opinion have the most significant influence on any country's export of financial services.

International business is essential for the countries to generate Economic growth or to increase in exports and reduce in imports, it encompasses all commercial and economic activities between the nations to promote the ideas, resources, transfer the goods and services, technologies across the national borders. In every country has limited resources therefore a country cannot produce all the goods and services that it requires. The present context of the world, there is imbalance in production and supply factors due to Covid-19 pandemic, which has resulted in market imbalances (demand and supply). The world economy has been hit hard by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, as on June end more than ten 10 million people around the globe had been affected by this pandemic, India, USA and others are worst hit countries with decrease in GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and increase in unemployment rate. It may be useful to also note that prolonged lockdowns will eventually imply production shortfalls, may lead to increase in unemployment; decrease in demand for products, slowly running out stocks. In recent forecast of World Trade Organisation (WTO) indicated a clear fall in world trade between 13 per cent and 32 per cent in 2020, perhaps the highest fall since the Great Depression of 1930s. India and world can overcome the challenges by specific government fiscal and monetary policies, by providing economic relief packages and increase in employment opportunities by digitalisation in all the sectors of the economy to increase in accountability, convenience, and gross production, and investment, job security to casual labours or migrant workers. These factors may change the world present situation to productive or welfare economy. The purpose of the research paper is to explain Economic and Business crisis, due to covid-19 in present situation in India and the world. KEY WORDS: C0VID-19, GDP, ECONOMY and GLOBAL CRISIS.

ABSTRACT Many governmental incentives unilaterally offered in special economic zones affect competition in international markets and thus fall within the scope of the World Trade Organization’s Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures. Until very recently, products made in such zones could face countervailing duty investigations abroad on a charge of improper subsidization. In 2019, the World Trade Organization issued its first ruling focusing on the legality of certain special economic zone subsidies. In particular, the panel in India—Export Related Measures found fiscal preferences under an Indian scheme to be prohibited export subsidies. This article examines the status of special economic zone incentives under the multilateral subsidy regime, discusses the relevant anti-subsidy practice, and identifies ‘risky’ and ‘safe’ types of support measures that constitute unilateralism of zones in promoting economic activities.

This paper considers the key policy issues related to liberalisation of trade in financial services that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) should be concerned with, and the role the IMF has played in advising on policies related to trade in financial services in its bilateral and multilateral surveillance and in conditionality attached to lending programmes. The IMF staff were generally aware of the literature and country experiences showing the benefits of financial liberalisation. But Fund advice in support of liberalisation can be best interpreted to be in support of country unilateral policy actions and the dynamics of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) accession process.

Trends in Labour Productivity in the Bulgarian Mining Industry The paper summarizes the trends in the labour productivity index of the world, European (EU-28) and Bulgarian economies for the 2000-2019 period. It represents a prediction of the International Labour Organization for its development until 2024. The changes in the labour productivity of Bulgaria and the “Industry” sector are examined for the indicated period. They are determined on the basis of current prices and of 2015 prices per employee and per hour worked. The tendencies in the change of the labour productivity for the “Mining and Quarrying“ sub-sector for the 2008-2018 period are described, based on the operating income per employee and on the value added at factor cost per employee, and some conclusions are drawn. Comparison of the realized labour productivity in almost all economic activities in Bulgaria for 2018 is presented.

Societies are still, now, indubitably, in the middle of a major sanitary and health crisis, all over. If April 2020 was a time of local lockdown in Asia, Europe and the Americas, it is expanding globally, and countries that are unable or unwilling to manage the spread of the disease are putting their health system as well as their social and economic activities under pressure, without ignoring the heavy toll on human populations. The impact of the Sars-CoV-2 and the resulting disease for humans is already tremendous, above 3 percent of GDP for the first quarter of 2020 and above 15 or 20 percent for the whole current year. According to the World Trade Organization (WTO 2020) the decline of global trade is reckoned between 13 and 32 % (OECD 2020).

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the living habits all over the world. Countries experienced multiple lockdowns, causing offices, restaurants, school and almost all the economic activities to close. The saying “stay home stay safe”, to which we were invited for preventing the virus spread, and the rise of smart-working, lead to an exponential increase in the time spent in our homes. In this sense, the way to live our homes has changed. Spaces and rooms that (before pandemic) were occupied for just a few hours a day, have become the main places for studying, working, playing or even have fitness. More than ever, people had to face the energy related problems of their house: air leakages, energy losses, expensive billings, and thermal discomfort. This study arises from considerations on buildings use after the pandemic, and it addresses the consequences of COVID-19 to building perception. Anonymous questionnaires were proposed broad wide, asking through a multi-stage survey to compare the feeling before and after the pandemic, also in comparison to the billing of the energy carriers. Results have been analysed, showing how the pandemic has changed the living perception.
