We examine the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on economic policy uncertainty (EPU) in five leading Asian economies, namely China, India, Japan, Korea, and Singapore. We find that the pandemic has a positive and statistically significant impact on EPU in China and Korea. This finding survives robustness checks.
