Covid-19 presented a massive challenge to global economies and industries. The damage brought about by the unprecedented demand destruction is likely to have structural, long lasting implications on countries. The pandemic has also brought to fore questions around equality and equity, with the notion of an uneven economic recovery fast becoming a reality.

Join Mr Piyush Gupta, Chief Executive Officer of DBS Group, as he shares his thoughts on the Covid-19 induced shifts that will shape the brave new world, and what the global economic recovery will look like after Covid-19.

Ms Srishti Marwah, MBA candidate of NUS Business School, will moderate the Q&A session.

Hosted by Strategic Relations X The NUS MBA
