Round-up of our pieces on the impact of Covid-19 on the region
#InCaseYouMissedIt
We published three in-depth pieces on how Covid-19 is impacting economies in the region over the course of this month. We've collated them here for your reading pleasure:
1. Corporate Indonesia headed for dark 12 months as demand dries up
THE two-week partial lockdown that is now in effect in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur, the administrative capital Putrajaya and the states of Sabah and Selangor is not likely to have a significant impact on the economy, according to analysts at MIDF Research.
2. No quick fix in sight for anaemic Thai economy
THAILAND'S economy is heading for a contraction of between 8 and 10 per cent this year, and with mounting political unrest, dim export prospects and a reluctance to reopen borders out of fear of a Covid-19 resurgence, the prospects for a speedy recovery in 2021 look dim.
