The widespread implications of the COVID-19 outbreak are rapidly unravelling and many exporters and importers are faced with disruptions to their businesses – from ships being trapped at ports, workers quarantined to travel restrictions; all these do pose financial challenges to businesses, some of whom are our clients.”
