Hello,

I want to suggest that this pandemic will cause economic problems of massive proportions.

Does this work?

The pandemic will bring about the worst economic turmoil that the world has seen since the Great Depression.
 
It's grammatical and natural.

edit: I might change 'the' to 'this', but it's not incorrect.

Yes, that's good. Many native speakers would omit "that".
 
I think "the current pandemic" is also good.
