Crisis Clinic of Thurston and Mason Counties - www. Crisis Intervention Purpose: This category provides general information regarding crisis intervention including but not limited to, planning, implementation and available resources that may be able to assist a client in a crisis situation.
A crisis may be different from a problem or an emergency While a problem may create stress and be difficult to solve, the family or individual is capable of finding a solution. Consequently, a problem that can be resolved by an individual or a family without outside intervention is not a crisis. Oftentimes, a problem may seem like a crisis to a family or individual under stress and not thinking clearly.
Interventions that establish trust and provide reassurance, advice or a referral by the case worker may resolve such a problem. Estimates on tax buoyancy suggest that tax revenues could contract more strongly than economic output OECD, [21]. Lower corporate profits, declining consumption and increases in unemployment will, respectively, cause declines in revenue from corporate income taxes, goods and services taxes and personal income taxes Kapoor and Buiter, [22]. The decline in international trade, travel and domestic consumption will suppress revenue from consumption taxes on which the majority of low- and middle-income countries rely.
Many resource-rich countries who derive a high share of tax and non-tax revenues from commodities and natural resources will be particularly affected by the significant drop in global commodity prices OECD, forthcoming[26].
Compared to GDP, low-income countries rely more strongly on natural resource rents than other income groups Steel and Phillips, [27] , and this dependence has increased over recent years UNCTAD, [28]. Governments are implementing a range of tax measures to lessen the burden on taxpayers and keep the cash-flows of businesses running; however, at the expense of lower public revenue, at least in the short-term.
Taken together, these mechanisms could drastically lower domestic resource mobilisation in developing economies. As a consequence, fiscal deficits could deteriorate by about 2.
First evidence from monthly data supports this impression. Other domestic resources beyond public revenue will be affected, too. Domestic private investment is likely to decline due to the high degree of economic uncertainty, contraction of economic output, and binding liquidity constraints.
The effect of the crisis on domestic savings depends on the relative change in consumption to that of national income. As one point of reference, gross domestic savings as a share of GDP had declined after the financial crisis in OECD, forthcoming[1]. The Global Financial Crisis showed that external finance to low- and middle-income countries is vulnerable to shocks.
During the crisis, portfolio and other investment inflows instantly dropped or even reversed to negative , while remittances and FDI decreased with a delay of one year Figure 1. While countries will feel this impact differently depending on their respective finance mix and level Figure 2 , all are expected to experience financing drops.
For the external finance share, this average is weighted by GDP. Weighting was not performed for the tax revenue figure to ensure consistency with other OECD publications. World Bank classification for income and regional grouping. External private investment plummeted following the Global Financial Crisis. It is thus not surprising that we already see that the global economic fallout from COVID has led to a flight to safety. However, the magnitude of this short-term reaction is unprecedented:.
This is twice as high as the non-resident portfolio outflows after the Global Financial Crisis and more than the cumulative non-resident portfolio inflows to emerging markets in For now, this unprecedented outflow episode seems to have halted. Debt flows to emerging markets recovered in April and May , and although outflows of equity continued, this has happened at a slower pace.
Yet, the extent of this recovery is minor compared to the March outflows, so that cumulative portfolio outflows remain large IIF, [33]. On the one hand, FDI via reinvested earnings, an increasingly important FDI component, is likely to suffer, but the impact varies greatly across sectors. According to Refinitiv [35] , there will be large year-over-year drops in multinational earnings in the energy, consumer discretionary, industrials and materials sectors.
Multinationals in the health care, technology and communications sectors will, however, see increased earnings. As the primary and manufacturing sector are especially prominent in FDI flows to developing economies, these countries are likely to be hit harder. On the other hand, FDI flows will be impacted due to adjustments in equity capital flows, regardless of the mode of entry.
First, completed cross-border mergers and acquisitions dropped globally in the first quarter of Second, announced FDI greenfield investment, which for developing economies is more important than cross-border mergers and acquisitions, declined significantly in the first two months of With the whole world having entered lockdown in March, the effect is likely to have magnified since OECD, [34].
Projections for external private investment support this foreboding evidence. Portfolio and other investment flows are not likely to recover quickly, given that the COVID pandemic is still unfolding in most developing economies, possibly leading to a second wave of portfolio outflows and further reduced capital inflows.
After the financial crisis of , global FDI dropped with a lag of one year and affected developed economies more adversely than developing ones. This time, the impact on FDI will be immediate. It will also hit the weakest hardest, as sectors most prominent in FDI flows to developing economies will be most affected. Again, the first few months since the outbreak of the pandemic gave an indication of the magnitude of the impact. While remittances to Mexico have proven to be relatively resilient so far, a different picture emerges when looking at the top three countries in terms of remittances as a share of external finance — Guatemala, El Salvador and Kyrgyzstan.
The main reason for this impact is that sending countries experience unprecedented economic shocks which translate into lower incomes of individuals transferring remittances. In the United States, the country from which most remittances originate, job losses within only four weeks since mid-March equalled the number of jobs that had been created since the Global Financial Crisis CNBC, [39].
Altogether, projections suggest that inflows of external private finance to ODA-eligible countries in could plunge by USD billion compared to levels see Figure 3. For details on the estimated COVID impact on external private finance, the interested reader is referred to the Methodology. Historical foreign direct investment, portfolio investment and other investment are from IMF Balance of Payments IMF, [14] and national central bank data, and refer to net incurrence of liabilities.
Official development finance has proven to be a key resource and countercyclical flow in past crises OECD, [41]. Ultimately, how official development finance will evolve in is a question of political will and global solidarity OECD, [41].
Many countries have signalled political commitment in support of a global sustainable recovery. The COVID crisis has exposed the interdependence of countries and the importance of global public goods. The current crisis and trends in financing for sustainable development are exacerbating the limited fiscal space already facing many low- and middle-income countries.
For instance, were African countries to implement the same proportional fiscal measures adopted by the largest EU economies, the OECD estimates that debt levels in Africa, all else remaining constant, would increase from With rising spending needs and declining revenue, public debt is likely to increase further and sizeably in many countries.
Increases in debt servicing costs will further reduce the available fiscal space. Already scarce resources coupled with the prospected impact of the COVID crisis, imply that developing economies might struggle to finance adequate public health, social and economic responses.
In the short term, official development finance will play an important countercyclical role — just as it has done in previous crises of global scale Horn, Reinhart and Trebesch, [44].
Indeed, multilateral and bilateral donors have taken first steps to support developing economies:. Recent COVID-related commitments by bilateral donors might therefore reflect shifts in already planned assistance towards the health sector rather than increasing ODA budgets.
Thus, DAC members need to remain attentive to not only supporting the COVID response but also to helping partners maintain all essential health services. However, the official development finance response has room for improvement.
There is of course a wide range of crisis behavior, from a first grader throwing a severe tantrum to a fully grown adult that gets into a rage and starts to use any object at hand as a potential weapon in an attempt to damage the environment they are in, the people around them or even themselves.
Because there is such a wide range of crisis behavior, there is also a wide range of so-called 'solutions' on the market to control these crises.
At the PCMA we like to present the range of crisis and our potential solutions with the following 'Crisis Severity Matrix' to show that Individuals vary both in how easily they can go into a crisis and how damaging their behavior is. For the United States, the adverse direct trade impact resulting from the Asian crisis proved manageable, and was partly offset by some other more positive spillovers, including reduced inflation pressures from cheaper Asian imports and weaker global commodity prices and lower bond yields from a flight to dollar assets.
The adverse fallout for some other countries was more substantial. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Boughton, James. Blustein, Paul. New York: PublicAffairs, Fischer, Stanley. Cambridge: MIT Press, Rhodes, William. New York: McGraw—Hill, Rubin, Robert, and Jacob Weisberg.
