A new stimulus package is urgently needed for micro and small businesses to recover from the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic and help the economy, said analysts today. “Recovery will depend on how we support small enterprises. Because, small enterprises are most dynamic in Bangladesh’s economy…they have been shut and these are the enterprises which have lost working capital,” said Economist Prof Wahiduddin Mahmud at a webinar. Power and Participation Research Centre (PPRC) and BRAC Institute for Governance and Development (BIGD) jointly organised the event to launch the report of its survey conducted in June on the effect of livelihoods of poor and vulnerable people, their coping and recovery during Covid-19 crisis.
