Global Open Data reported on the impact of COVID-19 on poverty. According to IFPRI, the global poverty is likely to rise as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The preliminary results from the study show that overall, the world economic growth rate has already fallen 1%, compared to a similar period in the previous year. This would translate to an increase in the extreme poverty rate of between 1.6% and 3% globally.
