Covid-19 Bulaşan Ekonomiye Dijital Cevap: Avrupa Birliği Perspektifi

2020’nin başından beri, dünyanın pandemi süreci içerisine girmesi, sağlık problemlerinin yanısıra, ekonomik ve sosyal etkilerin de ortaya çıkmasına yol açmıştır. Değişen hayat tarzları, uzaktan çalışma zorunluluğu, istihdam kayıpları hem, hanehalkları hem de firmaları ve hatta toplam talep ve arzı negatif yönde etkilemiştir. Bu süreçte, özellikle mal ve hizmetlerin temini, uzaktan çalışabilme, kamusal ve özel tüm işlemler, dijital imkanlarla mümkün hale gelmiştir. Dijitalleşmenin, bu günlerin ekonomik açıdan iyileşmesine katkısının test edildiği günlerden geçiyoruz. Bu çalışmada, Avrupa Birliği (AB) örneği ele alınarak, dijitalleşmenin ekonomik iyileşmeye katkısı ve potansiyeli incelenecektir. AB, COVID 19’un ekonomik etkilerinin yol açtığı hasardan kurtulmak için dijitalleşmeyi öncelik haline getirmiştir. DESI çerçevesinde AB ülkelerinin dijitalleşme düzeylerinin incelenmesi ve Avrupa Birliği’nin enfekte ekonomi üzerindeki etkileri ile mücadele etmek üzere tercih ettiği yaklaşım değerlendirilecektir

DIGITAL RESPONSE TO COVID-19 INFECTED ECONOMY: A EUROPEAN UNION PERSPECTIVE

Since January 2020, the world has been experiencing an unexpected pandemic which has affected people around the world both economically and socially. Mostly the demands of people, for goods and services were provided through online shopping; besides, working from home, public & private transactions were made possible by digital opportunities. Now, we are experiencing the time for testing digital instruments for economic recovery. In this study, response and potential of digitization for economic recovery will be assessed by taking the European Union (EU) case. As a response to the crisis, the EU has prioritized digitization as a tool for recovering from economic effects of COVID 19. In this study, the approach of the EU for the mitigation of “COVID infected” economy will be evaluated.
