COVID-19, küresel ölçekte yaşanan insani bir krizdir. COVID-19 salgınının küresel ekonomide eşi görülmemiş bir zararı olmuştur. Dünya genelinde üretim ve tüketim daralmıştır. COVID-19'un hem iktisadi yapıyı hem de uluslararası ticaret modellerini etkilemesi kimseyi şaşırtmayacaktır. Politika önerilerinden önce sorunu ve hasarı tespit etmek ise önemlidir. Bu bağlamda bu çalışmada COVID-19 pandemisinin yarattığı ticaret sorunları gösterilmek amaçlanmıştır. İstatisksel bir yöntemle dış ticaret üzerindeki etki açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Yapılan değerlendirmelerde Türkiye gibi ithalata bağımlı ülkelerin, pandemi sürecinden olumsuz etkileneceği ve daha sıkı politika kümeleri uygulaması gerektiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
