The Covid-19 variant, Omicron, is posing a new threat to the economy. It is time to explore how we can adapt to the threat of further Covid-19 disruption, and the hope for the future as we enter the new year.

For almost two years, Covid-19 has gripped the world, affecting local businesses and the economy. However, as global vaccinations pass 7.9 billion doses and more than 54% of the world’s population has received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, glimpses of post-Covid life are emerging.

Despite the challenges posed by the new variant, Omicron, one thing that is clear is that Covid-19 won’t stop humanity from progressing.
