Presented by the SEIFSA Economists and the Economics & Commercial Division, the seminar “Mitigating the Impact of COVID-19” gives a practical approach to the myriad of relief funding or loan packages available to South African businesses. The advent of the coronavirus pandemic or Covid-19 and the subsequent lockdown imposed by South Africa and other countries regionally and globally have brought economic activity to a halt.
The Covid-19 pandemic has negatively impacted on domestic and global supply chains and seriously reduced demand for manufactured goods – with extended ramifications on employment.
The sustainability of many companies is at stake; importantly, human lives are at stake.
