COVID-19: Economic effects, the business response

COVID-19 has quickly emerged as the number one risk to global and regional activity. The aim of policymakers will be to prevent an unavoidable short-term knock to growth turning into a more protracted downturn. For businesses, the focus will be on navigating a temporary period of disruption and volatility.

To examine the issues as they have developed and currently stand please join our team on Monday 13 April at 12:00 PM (GMT +4) for a special regionally-focused webinar, dedicated to the impact of COVID-19 on the regional economy and business environment. In light of the recent development of the COVID-19 outbreak, Deloitte Middle East experts will provide an update on the current economic outlook and discuss the impact of COVID-19 on tax authority and contractual obligations.
