Global real GDP growth in 2020 is estimated at –3.1 percent in the International Monetary Fund’s World Economic Outlook (IMF 2021c) and –3.5 percent in the World Bank’s Global Economic Prospects (World Bank 2021a). For more details, see Mahler et al. (2021). Kugler and Sinha (2020). See Reinhart, Rogoff, and Savastano (2003) on “debt intolerance.” Holston, Kaminsky, and Reinhart (2021). This definition builds on the broader definition of equitable development in World Bank (2005), but it is adapted to the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Fratto et al. (2021); IMF (2021b). Andersen et al. (2020). Data from World Bank, COVID-19 Business Pulse Survey Dashboard, https://www.world bank.org/en/data/interactive/2021/01/19/covid-19 -business-pulse-survey-dashboard. The difference in the rate of work stoppage between low- and high-educated workers was found to be statistically significant in 23 percent of the countries. For more details, see Kugler et al. (2021). Bundervoet, Dávalos, and Garcia (2021). World Bank, COVID-19 Household Monitoring Dash board, https://www.worldbank.org/en/data/interactive /2020/11/11/covid-19-high-frequency-monitoring -dashboard. Adams-Prassl et al. 2020; Chetty et al. (2020); Crossley, Fisher, and Low (2021). Mahler, Yonzan, and Lakner (forthcoming). Agrawal et al. (2021). Because of a lack of comprehensive data on many countries, the estimates at the global level assume there are no changes in inequality. Lakner et al. (2020) and Yonzan et al. (2020) estimate the impact of COVID-19 on global poverty using a range of assump tions on inequality within countries. Intrum (2020). Medina and Schneider (2019).

24. Ferreira et al. (2021) and Mahler et al. (2021), building on these poverty estimates, estimate a measure of additional poverty years induced by COVID-19. They assume, conservatively, that poverty stemming from the pandemic lasts for one year and show that additional poverty years have a strong downward-sloping relationship with GDP per capita. 25. This observation assumes that the definition of a nonperforming loan has remained constant throughout the pandemic. NPLs, as defined by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS 2017), are those loans with lower credit quality in terms of delinquency status (unpaid for a certain period of time) or unlikeliness of repayment. 26.

In particular, if a majority of bondholders agrees to debt restructuring, that agreement becomes legally binding for all bondholders, including those who voted against the restructuring. 49.
