The world is coping with a global disaster, as the new Coronavirus takes a toll on many lost lives and a severe impact on economic activity. To provide a long-run perspective, this column documents the international response to a variety of disasters since 1790.

Official lending spikes in times of global turmoil, such as wars, financial crises or natural disasters.
