The Insurance & Bonding Industry vs. COVID-19: Affects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on your Commercial Insurance and Bonding Program.
Jeff Deldin, Partner, World Insurance Associates LLC
The COVID-19 pandemic and the unprecedented federal, state and local government efforts to stop and mitigate its spread has had a significant impact on the economy. The insurance and surety industry has been impacted and their environment has changed in regards to providing contractors with insurance and bonding products and services. What should your company be doing about it and how can you prepare for the future to ensure your insurance and bonding programs remain open, competitive and flexible.
Return of the Economist: COVID-19 Economic Update
Anirban Basu, Chief Economist, Marcum LLP
COVID-19 has rocked what had appeared to be a nearly invincible economy; one associated with substantial job growth, multi-decade lows in unemployment, sturdy compensation increases, robust retail sales, low inflation, and strong financial market performance. Underneath that strong performance, however, was a set of fragilities that have been exposed by the pandemic. This webinar speaks to our current economic circumstances, how difficult things are likely to become over the foreseeable future, and the contours of the brisk recovery to come thereafter.
