State Measures to Save Business

during the Pandemic in Asia and Europe

State Measures to Save Business during the Pandemic in Asia and Europe

A joint initiative between  the Asia-Europe Subcommittee of LAWASIA and The German Federal Bar

LAWASIA and BRAK Logos

According to experts, global gross domestic product will increase by only 0.1 percent instead of the previously expected 2.6 percent. World trade is estimated to decline by 1.7 percent from 2020 to 2021.

Governments are striving to prevent entering a downward spiral due to collapsing companies, job losses and panic in the financial sector. Massive support measures are therefore taken in every country for the economy and affected companies.

This webinar aims to give an overview of government measures in the UK, Malaysia, Germany and China. Experts from all four countries will speak about support in employment law, special regulations under insolvency law and financial state support for companies.
