Having run the survey since early 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic began, the Pacific Trade Invest (PTI) Network have found that optimistic sentiments across the region are rising, and alongside clear articulation of ongoing business challenges and calls for support, respondents are confident of both survival and improvement.
The Q2 report shows that while 91 per cent of Pacific businesses have faced negative impacts due to COVID-19 over the quarter, 83 per cent of respondents felt confident that their business will build back stronger following the COVID-19 crisis.
