A return to strict lockdowns in the face of rising Covid-19 infections would largely hit the same sectors and households that suffered the first time around, said Moody’s Investors Service in a new report.
The report, which examines a hypothetical downside scenario involving new, severe global lockdowns, found that such a move would have uneven effects across countries and sectors.
Moreover, a return to lockdowns “would likely have a disproportionate effect on low-income households, which would further increase inequality,” it said.
“The disparate effects would likely increase awareness of social inequalities and could lead to higher spending by state and local governments to address social needs,” Moody’s said.
