Here are the excerpts of the interview:
How do you see the current business landscape amid this COVID-19 outbreak and the readiness of businesses to come through stronger on the other side?
In my view, the impact of COVID-19 will be much broader, deeper, and enduring than many realize. The knock-on effect of the circuit breaker, social distancing, travel bans, etc., will have a long-lasting impact on the business environment. Even though many firms understand the change in the landscape conceptually, many are still in denial about the fact that life after COVID-19 will look and feel much different to how it was as we entered 2020.
