Abstract

The pandemic of the new Coronavirus (COVID-19) has brought uncertainty to the global scenario. A public and financial health crisis reached citizens in social vulnerability, but the impact of this global event was felt in all social classes. This study aimed to discuss and reflect on the impact of the new Coronavirus pandemic, COVID-19, on the Brazilian financial economic scenario, through theoretical and bibliographic research, in articles and official websites. The survey raised optimistic and pessimistic views, but the point of agreement among experts is that the consequences of the recession, generated by restrictive measures, will be negative for the economy in the short and long term. Finally, it is concluded that economic crises have always existed in history, and they all ended. How people will behave after the pandemic, coupled with public policies adopted by each country, will determine how quickly nations will rise from this economic recession.
