The current pandemic crisis is a major global disruptor. It will have a complex
cluster of impacts in many areas, from the political one up to the behavioural.
Some of the consequences might end up by being positive transformations. When I
say that I have in mind an increase in the work from home, which saves time and
keeps fewer people in crowded and long commutes. I also think of greater
investments in preventive health and more equal access to basic health
services. On the other hand, it will have dramatic consequences on jobs, on
poverty and despair, and on the performance of major economic sectors, including
the banking one. The longer this crisis lasts the more complicated the recovery
will be. And we have a prolonged period in front of us. This should mean that
we must do whatever we can to prevent the transmission of disease.
