Global governments must work together to provide massive spending as in the 2008 financial crisis to help the economy withstand the damage from the coronavirus pandemic, IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva said on Monday.

And emerging markets are facing a massive outflow of cash, and will need support as well, she said in a blog post.
