AS BUSINESSES here tackle the economic fallout from the coronavirus outbreak, Singaporeans must brace themselves for the different scenarios the post-COVID-19 world will present.

That is the view of Joseph Liow, Research Adviser at S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies and Dean of College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences at the Nanyang Technological University.

He will talk about what the new normal will look like and share how the pandemic will likely alter the dynamics of trade and commerce and possible changes in consumer behaviour in an upcoming webinar.

Said Prof Liow: “These are uncertain times. Because of the uncertainty and unpredictability, in terms of the business climate and consumer behaviour, there is a need for us to think through the possible scenarios. We need to be prepared for any number of permutations that may come along.
