Deloitte Economics: Coronavirus Impact Monitor - Black Friday Monitor: Retail, mink and vaccines
Denmark’s mink industry crisis
After learning that COVID can be infected both by and from mink, the government responded with
an order to cull livestock en masse
                                                                                                            Production value of pelts
                                                                              (DKKm), inflation adjusted

 •   The Danish authorities worry that a mutated form of
     coronavirus found in mink may hamper the effectiveness of a
     future vaccine. This has led to rapid policy action by the sitting
     government.
 •   Several different mutations have been discovered in the virus in
     mink that do not arise in humans. However, one called "Cluster
     5" is of particular concern, and 12 people are known to have
     caught it in Denmark. More than 200 other people have
     contracted other mink-related strains of the virus.
 •   The government admitted it lacked the legal framework for a
     nationwide order and only had jurisdiction to cull infected mink
     or herds within a safety radius.
                                                                                                           Number of FTE employed
 •   The economic effect of this policy will be felt both for the fur         FTEs

     industry, from farm to retail, and more broadly, including
     impacts on employment and reparations paid by the state.
 •   The industry had reported turnover of almost USD 1bn
     (GBP 750m) in 2018-19. According to a Kraka report, based on
     the farms' finances for 2016-2018, an elimination of the mink
     profession in Denmark will lead to a total socio-economic loss of
     2.5 billion.
 •   Further, Danish mink farms employ 2,700 full-time employees,
     who must now find new employment.

Danish consumer spending – since lockdown

Danish business sector confidence indicators
Sentiment across key sectors continues to recover, notably in the Industrials sector

 •      Recent October data suggests that sentiment across key sectors in the Danish economy continues to recover after falling sharply in April and May 2020.
 •      The Industrials sector indicates the highest increase in sentiment, though it remains pessimistic.
 •      The Retail sector in particular has recovered well and continues to do so, and currently has a positive outlook. However, this is slightly less positive in October 2020 than in
        the previous month, indicating a reduced optimism following the second wave.
 •      While the Services sector also exhibits a less negative outlook than previously, it remains significantly lower than the other sectors and much lower than any point since
        2011.

 •       After clarity from the US election results, we will see more assurance in trade and global economics.
 •       New GDP figures for Q3 2020 have started to be released by various countries, including figures published for Denmark showing a 5% increase in Q3. This data captures
         the quarter when most countries began to reopen following lockdown restrictions in Q2.
 •       Across the OECD as a whole, GDP increased by 9% in Q3 2020 based on data available at the time of writing. Comparing this with the Q2 figure showing a 17% drop, this
         illustrates how the virus so far has had its greatest impact in Q2, when most countries had lockdown restrictions.
 •       The increase in Q3 in most countries indicates a similar pattern to the figures reported by China in Q2, which was one of the first countries to implement lockdowns but
         also among the first ones to reopen. In Q3, China reported a small yet positive increase of 3%. However, as many countries have reimplemented lockdown restrictions due
         to the second wave, it is uncertain whether a similar pattern will continue in Q4.
 •       Some countries have fared better than others. Based on data available at the time of writing, France, Spain, the United Kingdom and Italy experienced a 18%-16%
         increase, but these countries experienced greater decreases in GDP in Q2.

Key messages
Increased consumer sentiment for retail, vaccine hope and American election certainty

 •    COVID-19 is continuing its spread across the world, with more than 60 million confirmed cases in 188 countries. About 1.4m people have lost their lives.
 •    COVID trends for some countries like the United States and Sweden are on a worrying level and will require much stricter measures to materially decrease infection levels.
 •    The American election is all but finalised and has allowed the global community to obtain a high degree of certainty with the change of administrations. A particular boon
      is likely to be seen in the renewable energy and sustainability sectors, with Biden intimating that America will re-enter the Paris Climate agreement.
 •    The likely promise of a functioning COVID vaccine on the near-term horizon has positively affected many stocks, with the assurance and minimisation of uncertainty
      playing a large role in improving investor confidence.
 •    The Danish Government has instigated the culling of a majority of the minks used in the pelt industry, and this has led to some unemployment and increased economic
      costs.
 •    Consumer confidence remains negative and worrying, with a lack of improvement from the restrictions still in place during this second wave. Some retail sub-sectors have
      maintained disproportionate growth, such as electronics and e-commerce, whilst some other sectors like hospitality and entertainment have extremely bleak outlooks
      heading into the Christmas and 2021.
 •    Many economies around the globe have seen stark recoveries, with an improvement in the management of the crises on local and regional levels. The recovery will take
      well into 2021, however, to meet the pre-COVID expectations of the economic forecasts.
 •    It remains to be seen how management of the virus will affect the efforts for economic recovery, and how the impact and rollout of a vaccine will influence the level of
      aggression in solving this economic crisis.
 •    Deloitte Economics will continue monitoring the impact of the coronavirus in Denmark and globally. Find our updates here

         The European Commission has approved Danish plans to set up a fund with a target size of up to DKK 10bn (c. EUR 1.34bn) to recapitalise large enterprises affected by the coronavirus
         outbreak.

         DKK 450m will go towards extending many compensation schemes dedicated to culture and sport until 31 January 2021, improving social conditions under the restriction regime.

         After a budget surplus in 2019, the IMF calculated a decrease of 6.5% of GDP in 2020. In 2021, the economy is expected to grow by 6%. The reality of this is dependent on a vaccine and hefty
         intervention from the state and treasury.

         Digitalisation in the public sector may be boosted, as the crisis has reinforced virtual ways of working.
