The main objective of this study is to extend an economic perspective on the
outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in the Middle East economies. The COVID-19
pandemic, which was initially considered as a Chinese-centric problem, has now
affected more than 200 countries worldwide. The impact of the virus on human
sufferings is unaccountable. However, economists consider the repercussion of the
outbreak as contagious economically as it has been medically. Throughout this
paper, we mainly address a few important research questions about the economic
aspects of COVID-19. We further highlight three critical channels through which
the economic effect of the outbreak can be assessed. Finally, we explain the case
of Middle East states and demonstrate the pathways that explain the economic
repercussion of this global pandemic on the region. We conclude the paper by
providing a few policy recommendations for the Middle East economies to fight the
crisis.
