BAB will be hosting an interactive webinar on the observations and predictions on the business and economic impact from Coronavirus Covid-19 and how to restart the transatlantic economy.
It is known that the COVID19 crisis is unprecedented. A major rupture, arrived at speed, with an enormous impact on every aspect of life and business. What is not known at this point is what the overall impact will be long-term. Will the impact on trade and business surpass the 2008 crisis? Will we see a quick recovery? What makes this economic crisis different from others? Join us as we gather a group of leading economists and global research leads dissecting these important questions for us. We will look at lessons from the past, assess political and economic dimensions in the UK and the US and seek to offer an economic outlook that will help us plan for the future.
