However, history has shown that crises also present unique opportunities for those who are willing to take decisive action. This was evident during the 2008–09 global financial crisis when investments made during the downturn often resulted in strong returns. As we navigate the challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, there are valuable lessons to be learned and opportunities to be seized.
