Abstract: Objective: This paper examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on investment policies globally, focusing on identifying the key elements of resilient investment strategies capable of withstanding economic crises. The study aims to understand how varying economic and investment strategies affected the resilience of 20 selected countries during the pandemic.Method: Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research integrates a comprehensive literature review with empirical data analysis covering the years2018 to 2022. It assesses key economic indicators such as GDP growth, unemployment rates, and Gross Fixed Capital Formation to evaluate the effectiveness of different investment strategies during the pandemic.Results: The findings reveal significant disparities in how countries' economies and investment policies withstood the pandemic's challenges. Key elements of resilient investment policies identified include diversification, robust risk management, and the integration of sustainability into investment strategies. The study provides tailored recommendations for enhancing economic stability and investment policy resilience in specific countries.Originality: The study's original approach lies in its combination of theoretical insights from extensive literature with practical outcomes derived from empirical economic data. This integration allows for a nuanced understanding of the pandemic's impact across diverse economic systems and offers grounded, actionable strategies for developing robust investment policies.
