Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Minister of Finance): This morning, ASB released its latest Economic Note titled "Be prepared—It doesn't hurt", providing useful advice for businesses on how to prepare for the impact of coronavirus. The ASB suggests business consider the three broad ways in which they may be impacted: export earnings, supply chain disruption, and social distancing. These will all impact individual businesses to varying degrees and in different ways. It's important that all businesses understand their level of risk and keep a close eye on trends in areas like revenue, cash flow, and supply chain. ASB advises businesses to ensure that they have established a clear idea of how to respond, including by making contingency plans for business continuity, and asking for help. Both the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) have guidance about this on their websites.
