Report
The 2020 edition of the International Trade Centre’s flagship report COVID-19: The Great Lockdown and its Effects on Small Business served the discussion to illustrate the massive scale of the crisis and chart a way forward. The report analyses the impact of the pandemic on small firms, international supply chains and trade. It provides projections and recommendations on weathering the crisis – and how to prepare for a ‘new normal’ that must be resilient, digital, inclusive and sustainable.
AcknowledgementsThe International Trade Centre was fortunate to welcome a wide range of brilliant speakers from all continents. We would like to acknowledge all of them for contributing to a collective effort on best practices to support small businesses through the COVID-19 crisis.
