[Ethereum] TypeError: web3_1.default is not a constructor

I'm trying to convert a DApp that uses web3.js from JavaScript to TypeScript, but I have encountered a bunch of runtime errors. I'm using Visual Studio Code IDE, and I'm compiling to ES6. I've reduced the project to the smallest code that still has these problems.

Can someone help me fix this? Thanks in advance!

(if I forgot to include some important information, please feel free to comment)

NPM packages:

• @types/web3 (version 1.0.12)

• web3 (version 1.0.0-beta.36)

Web page:

<script src="system.js"></script>
<script>
System.config({
    baseURL: './out',
    packages: {
        './out': {
            defaultJSExtensions: 'js'
        }
    },
    meta: {
        '*': {
            format: 'register'
        }
    },
});
window.addEventListener("load", (async function(){
    await System.import("init");
}));
</script>

Init.ts:

import Web3 from "web3";

const ABI: any[] = [];
let web3: Web3;
export async function init()
{
    if (typeof (window as any).web3 !== "undefined")
    {
        const injectedWeb3: Web3 = ((window as any).web3 as Web3);
        web3 = new Web3(injectedWeb3.currentProvider); // This line produces the error: TypeError: web3_1.default is not a constructor
    }
    else
    {
        web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider("http://localhost:8545"));
    }
    const myABIinstance = new web3.eth.Contract(ABI);
}
init();
