  • Response to the Covid Crisis
    COVID-19 CRISIS: PBC MEMBERS RESPONSE April 2020 Covid-19: PBC Members Response to Help Alleviate the Effects of the Crisis Pakistan’s people, its economy and businesses are all stressed as a result of the Coronavirus crisis. So are the rest of the world’s. Unemployment in the US, Pakistan’s largest export market, has crossed the all-time high of the Great Depression. Many countries have injected substantial liquidity to help people, business and economies deal with the crisis. The bail-out in the US has surpassed that of the sub-prime financial crisis. European countries too have brought down their lending rates and made substantial liquidity available. Retail chains all over the West have closed, some declaring bankruptcy, as cities, states and countries enter an uncertain lockdown period. The Covid crisis is unprecedented. Rich and poor countries are both affected. The virus respects no rank or social status or political boundaries. No one knows how long it will last. Pakistan’s economy was already stressed before the Coronavirus crisis. As part of the IMF programme, Pakistan had committed to stretching macro-economic targets, some, it looked, were unlikely to be achieved, even before the onslaught of the Carona crisis. In these circumstances, the government’s ability to offer large cash handouts is limited. However long and severe the impact on health and life from the Caronavirus, it is universally accepted that the economic disruption that it will cause will be deep and take longer to overcome. Solutions are therefore required for business to work with the government to alleviate the impact.
