To assess the impact of Covid-19 on the state of business and industry, PACCI asked leaders of chambers of commerce and industry associations to complete a survey to help understand the impact of the ongoing global pandemic on business. This survey, which took place from 28 April 2020 to 12 May 2020, reflects the view of 112 presidents and senior officials of chambers of commerce and industry (City/Regional and national chambers), and Business Membership Associations, out of which 21 were women business leaders. This is the first edition of the survey that will be a quarterly tracking poll on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on businesses for the duration of this pandemic, so that we can track the impacts over time.
LATEST DOCUMENT
This regional briefing paper was prepared as part of stocktaking exercises to prepare background documents for knowledge and capacity building deliverables under the AfDB non-lending project “Improving Trade facilitation Environment in the IGAD Region Through Knowledge Generation and Capacity Building”. The report provides an analysis and recommendations based on surveys undertaken by PACCI among chambers of commerce and businesses in IGAD member countries, complemented with additional information from key stakeholders and analysis of secondary data.
Pour évaluer l’impact de Covid-19 sur la situation des entreprises et de l’industrie, PACCI a demandé aux dirigeants des associations de chambres de commerce et d’industrie de répondre à un questionnaire pour aider à mieux comprendre l’impact de la pandémie mondiale actuelle sur les entreprises. Cette étude, qui a été menée du 28 avril 2020 au 12 mai 2020, reflète l’opinion de 112 présidents et hauts fonctionnaires d’associations de chambres de commerce et d’industrie (chambres municipales/régionales et nationales) dont 21 sont des femmes dirigeantes. Les propriétaires de petites entreprises ont participé à hauteur de 76 pour cent de l’ensemble de l’enquête.
Il s’agit de la première édition de cette étude qui sera un questionnaire trimestriel sur l’impact de la pandémie COVID-19 sur les entreprises pendant toute la durée de la pandémie, afin de pouvoir mesurer les répercussions au cours du temps
The report found
that the main business challenges due to COVID-19 are identified to be cash flow difficulty, keeping staff from lay off, accessing government agencies designated to help businesses in time of crisis, and lack of competence and resources of business membership organizations (BMOs) and chambers of commerce to assist members. Tax payment rescheduling, tax cancellation and reducing interests were identified as very important policy measures by the business community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
