Understanding the Jurisdictional Risk of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic is causing major, unanticipated disruptions to business operations and supply chains around the globe. The effects are dynamic and rapidly evolving, complicating an organization’s efforts to understand the current impacts on any given jurisdiction. The flood of information online, sometimes incorrect, adds an additional layer of confusion to a company’s attempt to ensure business continuity.

Considering this unprecedented challenge, it is imperative that companies sufficiently understand the situation on the ground where they operate, have business interests or rely upon key third parties as part of their supply chain network. Critical information includes knowledge of local government responses, relevant travel and trade restrictions and economic impacts.

Our COVID-19 Business Impact Snapshot helps firms understand the impacts on the business environment in a given jurisdiction so that they can make informed business decisions on how to respond. Each report draws from a variety of English and local language sources, such as local and international media, government press releases, health administration reports, major think tanks and trade publications.
