The outbreak of COVID-19 has brought upon unprecedented challenges, and is expected to have a significant impact on China's economic development this year. Based on the current situation, PwC analysed the pandemic’s impact on China’s economic growth and on individual industries, and proposed countermeasures and recommendations for the country’s policies.
China’s Lunar New Year Golden Week was expected to bring promising sales to businesses, but the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 has impacted many industries in varying degrees. The challenges caused by the pandemic have affected the operation and business performance of many industries in the short run. The resulting uncertainties will bring deeper impact in the long term. The crisis have prompted many industry players and management to re-examine and refine business development plans in the medium to long-term in order to accelerate transformation.
