Real economic impact

Global supply chain disruption and negative demand shock to impact the economy

 •    In a short period of time, the COVID-19 crisis has progressed from a China event into a global supply chain disruption (negative exogenous supply
      chain shock) and a negative demand shock with complex feedback loops. Companies and factories are reducing activity levels or closing down, feeding
      a disruption to global supply chains. People are asked to stay at home or work from home, sharply reducing personal consumption (for instance, limited
      travel and limited activity at restaurants).

 •    The policy response in Denmark has been material, with a countrywide lockdown for two weeks, and closure of all human traffic across borders.

 •    Central banks across the world have eased monetary policies and introduced various measures to ease market strains and prevent funding and liquidity
      squeezes.

 •    The scale and magnitude of the pending economic slowdown remains unclear.

Deloitte Economic’s view on the short-term outlook across selected sectors in Denmark

 Transport
 •   High short-term impact of COVID-19 on transportation due
     to limitations on travel and supply chain disruptions. Lower                                        Denmark
     volumes are reported in bus transportation, shipping and air
     transport. Passenger volume through Copenhagen Airport               Sector
     are down some 30%.                                                                    Short-term                Outlook

 Hotels and restaurants
 •   It is estimated that turnover among hotels is down some            Transport          High impact             Slow recovery
     50-60%. Restaurants and bars are also reporting major
     declines in activity.

 Financials                                                                                High impact         Moderate recovery

 •   Equity prices of Danish banks have fallen sharply, partly due
     to concerns about credit losses: The corporate sector in
     Denmark is relatively skewed towards small and medium-
     sized companies, that appear more vulnerable to supply             Financials         High impact         Moderate recovery

 Pharmaceuticals
 •   Limited impact so far. Potential upside in scenario with        Pharmaceuticals   Neutral / Low impact    Growth opportunity

 •   The advice by Danish authorities to refrain from gathering
     more than 100 people under one roof is a major issue for
     the leisure sector (conference centers, concert places etc.)

Key messages

The global economic slowdown is set to hit the Danish economy

 •    COVID-19 spreads more rapidly, but is less fatal than for instance SARS (3.6% vs. 10% fatality
      rate of confirmed cases). COVID-19 also spreads more rapidly than the seasonal flu (2.3 vs 1.3
      cases per infected person). From March 4 to March 13 the number of confirmed cases increased by
      almost 800% (from 8 to 801).

 •    COVID-19 has caused severe damages on the World Economy. The equity markets have suffered
      major losses and equity market volatility has spiked to levels not experienced since the global
      financial crisis.

 •    In Denmark, especially the transport sector and hotels and restaurants have experienced a major
      decrease in turnover. As the Danish government enforces extraordinaire measures to prevent
      COVID-19 to spread in the population, the severe economic consequences of COVID-19 is
      expected to characterise the economic situation across sectors.

 •    According to a Global Deloitte Economics survey among 3,000 colleagues and clients from all over
      the world the expectations are that the economic slow-down will be deep, but short. By the end of
      2020 the economy is back on track.

 •    Deloitte Economics will continue monitoring the impact of the Coronavirus in Denmark and
      globally.
