Socioeconomic factors worsened by Covid-19 pandemic

Several economy-influencing factors have been heightened by the Covid-19 pandemic, including asymmetry of socioeconomic factors, consumer and business disruption, population age discrepancies, socioeconomic polarisation and a lack of trust in leadership, PwC partner and chief economist Lullu Krugel has said. She spoke during the Manufacturing Enterprise Solutions Association Africa year-end function on November 17, in which she highlighted the asymmetry, disruption, age, polarisation and trust (Adapt) factor’s findings made by PwC strategy and leadership global leader Blair Sheppard.
