The Covid-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented economic distress globally and its effects are continuing to reverberate across the world. We examine current economic trends, strategies that have and have not worked in response to financial distress, industries that have been the hardest hit, and what we can expect in the coming months. We will also compare and contrast the current environment with the credit crisis of 2008 in order to discern any lessons learned and to help navigate the crisis caused by Covid-19.
