WA Businesses Suffer $245M in Losses After 4-Day Lockdown, Industry Survey Shows
A survey by Western Australia’s (WA) peak industry body, Chamber of Commerce and Industry WA (CCIWA), has revealed that lockdowns in parts of the state have clobbered businesses, with the industry facing an estimated $245 million (US$186 million) in losses and forcing almost one in ten businesses in the affected areas to go under.
The survey of 458 stakeholders from the WA business community found 9 percent were forced to shut down completely. While a further 22 percent said, it would only take one or two more lockdowns before they too were forced to close their doors.
