Su expansión por China y otros países del área impactó fuertemente sobre el crecimiento y la estabilidad económica no solo regional, sino también global. En la misma medida que se fue extendiendo, la situación de una serie de sectores de la economía mundial se volvió crítica. Los países asiáticos adoptaron una serie de medidas nacionales y/o en los marcos de integración para reducir los impactos del coronavirus. Asia percibe este difícil momento como una oportunidad para impulsar la cooperación internacional y algunos sectores, especialmente la economía digital. El artículo se propone determinar los impactos causados por la pandemia, las políticas llevadas a cabo para enfrentar esta situación, así como las oportunidades que se abren en medio del complejo panorama internacional.]]></p></abstract>

Its expansion into China and other countries in the area had a strong impact on economic growth and stability, not only regionally but also globally. As it spread, the situation in a number of sectors of the world economy became critical. The Asian countries adopted a series of national measures and/or integration frameworks to reduce the impacts of the coronavirus.
