ICC PODCAST SERIES - THE COVID-19 RECOVERY - EPISODE 1

May 14, 2020

COVID-19 has created an economic crisis of global proportions with a deep recession or depression widely forecast across many of the large economies. Is there a consensus emerging on what the global economy will look like post COVID-19, how we re-boot global value chains or what the opportunities are to strengthen coherence on global policy priorities?

After a round of intensive consultations and discussions with international companies based in the UK, there appears to be an appetite for bold thinking and to use the crisis as a springboard to reset the policy narrative around a more inclusive and sustainable global economy and to capitalise on the opportunity to prioritise climate action and digitisation policies that will set us on the right path for the future.

In this episode, ICC United Kingdom interviews James Pearson, CEO of the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Sandra Uwera, CEO of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa Business Council (COMESA Business Council), and Ho Meng Kit, the CEO of the Singapore Business Federation to find out what is going on in Australia, Africa and Singapore.
