Abstract
At the time of publication of this article, we are in the middle of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic with increased restrictions on travel and sizes of meetings across the globe. At this point in time, we can only speculate what the impact of the pandemic will be on the global economy. Although history does not repeat itself, there are certain elements and trends that recur. This article contributes to the discussion forum of the journal through the consideration of what we can learn from past pandemics and how this can assist in forecasting what the likely effect will be on the global economy, in general, and the financial services industry in particular.
