How have different sectors (aerospace, financial services, telecoms), sizes of business, regions and the self-employed been impacted by the COVID-19 crisis, and how might they be impacted differently by the recovery phase?

Background

COVID-19 has posed a major economic shock, disrupting trade flows, stretching supply chains, and challenging international organisations that uphold systems of global governance as well as broader perceptions of international openness. Beyond immediate policy responses, evidence should support long-term recovery and economic security within the global rules-based system.
