A local partner of one British brand says his hopes are fading and risks deepening as stock dwindles

“As of this moment, retail businesses are still functioning – but the biggest question we all have is what will happen in a few weeks or months, when supplies run out.like Ikea and Inditex [the owner of fashion chain Zara],

“The businesses that work under a licence agreement are facing much tougher challenges. I fear we will all have to make a difficult, strategic choice – whether to close our businesses permanently and sell off our remaining stocks, or try to keep the business afloat in the hope that the situation improves and supplies can be resumed.

“The biggest risk of all, of course, is that this second scenario presumes the return of our western partners. If that doesn’t happen, then we risk losing everything and being left with nothing. “The only thing that might be considered an upside is that our sales went up, because people realise that stocks will run out. But it inevitably speeds up the timeline for my chosen scenario, which means our supplies might run out before normal trade relations resume.
