IAIR & World Bank Group Webinar -The calm before the storm: Early evidence on business insolvency filings after the onset of COVID-19

Description

IAIR has been helping the World Bank with the collection of data on levels of Insolvency internationally. Based on preliminary findings, they have produced a note entitled “The calm before the storm: early evidence on business insolvency filings after the onset of COVID-19”. While the note is still confidential -it is undergoing the World Bank’s internal review process-, they are happy to give IAIR members a presentation on it, as well as on the next steps of the project.
