Evaluation of the effects of Covid-19 on macroeconomic variables in terms of Turkish economy

In the globalizing world from past to present, it is seen that global epidemics are increasing day by day. The Covid-19 epidemic has been one of the most costly global diseases since the Spanish flu that emerged in 1918, which is among the increasing epidemic diseases. The spread of the epidemic to the continents, beyond the region where the epidemic is located, caused the epidemic to reach a pandemic dimension, and this situation had a negative impact on social life, human health and economies. It is known that pandemic epidemics generally have global economic effects on the supply and demand side. The Covid-19 outbreak was seen in Turkey as of March 2020. Within the scope of the researches, the conceptual dimension of the epidemic was evaluated and its effects on the country's economy were evaluated in a sectoral scope. By evaluating the used effects of heavy viruses experienced in the past, the effect of the recently emerged Covid-19 epidemic was measured. The effects of the epidemic on both human health and the country's economy were evaluated by considering macroeconomic variables. In the final analysis of the study, the negative effects of the covid-19 epidemic on the capital markets and macroeconomic variables in the Turkish economy were investigated.
