JAYA: AmBank Research says the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in political, economic, social and cultural shifts that changed the global landscape, which appears to be accelerating the deglobalisation process and already hurting global investment and trade.
He said that prior to the pandemic, screening was justified on the fear of becoming dependent on a foreign company for the delivery of critical goods and services, a desire to ensure that domestic technology and expertise remain within national borders and the prevention of surveillance or sabotage of essential services. Today, the pandemic has added a new dimension to these insecurities that will have global ramifications on investment and trade flows.
“The situation due to Covid-19 is becoming more challenging as more countries are now looking inward. Understandably, it is to sustain the growth of their own export market.” Innovation in the energy sector is not limited to developments in technology, but also encompasses innovation in contracts, business models, decision making and the diversification of portfolios.
He highlighted that the pandemic has been a wake-up call for all businesses as it has been revealed that global markets and supply chains are fragile and easily disrupted, which will result in an increased focus on sustainability.
