Politics and pandemic – a test for the economy


The first P is for politics – the US presidential election and potential GE15.

THE acronym PEP often refers to Politically Exposed Person and those in the financial market or those in compliance or risk management would know that when dealing with a PEP, extra precautions are needed before entering into any form of transactions or dealings. A PEP has a higher risk factor when it comes to corruption or bribery.

However, this week’s column is not about PEP in that sense, but in a different form.
