Economic news of the week: Recession & COVID19

Loading player...
In this edition of the Business Day Spotlight we look at what a recession means for SA, together with how the coronavirus has continued to affect global markets.

Our host Mudiwa Gavaza is joined in studio by Sifiso Skenjana, chief economist and thought leadership executive at IQ Business.

Skenjana starts off by explaining what a recession is, how it affects the country, both internally and externally.

With the first case of coronavirus in SA being confirmed earlier this week by the department of health, the discussion then moves on to how the disease continues to weigh on local and global markets.
