Delivering the theme paper of the Conference, “Rebuilding Institutions post Covid-19” the Chief Executive, British Insurance Brokers Association (BIBA), Mr. Steve White noted that the effect of COVID-19 would be felt across all sectors, with retail and real estate highlighted to be severely impacted.
According to him, businesses may be impacted by lower demand and run the risk of over-stocking that could persist until production reduces or demand picks up. He added that customers are likely to delay payments to preserve cash, whilst suppliers may be desperate to be paid for shipped or ordered goods.
He said, “Institutions should assess the ability of their own affected operations to continue production and supply. Contingency plans should be made for alternative supply in the short and medium term, as and when required.
“Businesses are encouraged to respond to recent events on multiple fronts at once. Simultaneously, they must work to protect their workers’ safety and safeguard their operational viability, which is increasingly under strain from a historic supply-chain shock.”
