Post-COVID-19 economy – changes and challenges

Some commentary

It is very difficult to understate the importance of the COVID-19 outbreak in shaping the short-term and long-term behaviour of individuals, families, whānau, organisations, businesses, and governments.  The challenge of focussing business models to better deliver desirable outcomes, the realisation that automatic market adjustments have not (and will not) deliver palatable outcomes, alongside the scenario of far more active government involvement in economic activity, are together set to shape the narrative of the coming decade, if not the coming generation.

Links to a selection of recent kōrero with Dr Ganesh Nana, covering some of these and related topics follow.
