Until the next talk
The spread of the coronavirus around the world is already expected to have a significant impact on global economic growth. The International Monetary Fund has already downgraded its forecast for the year, which would indicate the slowest growth since the global financial crisis in 2008.

With this in mind, along with our partners and industry experts, we're running a series of virtual event sessions around how small businesses can mitigate the impact and threat of Coronavirus.
