According to the Bank of England, the situation is worse than the financial crisis of 2008. The economic devastation is unprecedented in scope, with far-reaching ramifications for the global economy. The economic impact, according to experts, will permanently disrupt a number of industries, and the transition to a new normal will take several years. The banking industry, in particular, is at the centre of the crisis, posing increased risks that will necessitate significant adjustments in risk evaluation.
