The COVID-19 outbreak has caused a global health emergency and an economic slowdown impacting millions of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) around the world, including the Pacific region. To understand the ongoing impact on the Pacific’s private sector, Pacific Trade Invest (PTI) commissioned Fifth Quadrant, an independent research agency, to run a regular survey to understand the ongoing effects of COVID-19 on businesses in the Pacific.
The twelfth PTI Pacific Business Monitor reports the lowest percentage of perceived local economy impact caused by COVID-19, since tracking began in May last year. The financial and emotional impact of COVID-19 continues to be a significant issue among business decision-makers. Worryingly, those reporting negative impact on their mental health worsened this month.
