Global economies are experiencing significant strains on both Supply and Demand as a result of government efforts to suppress the spread of COVID-19 and minimise deaths as a result

Health and economic outlooks for countries are linked by Non Pharmaceutical Interventions (NPI)

The disease Non Pharmaceutical Interventions

Impact of NPI measures on supply, which tests corporate resilience but are mitigated by fiscal and monetary measures

Impact of NPI measures on consumer and corporate demand, with confidence being key, and mitigated by fiscal and monetary measures

The COVID-19 economic-cycle

The COVID-19 health-cycle

How the disease has and will progress if unchecked

Actions governments have taken to suppress the spread of the disease

The NPI measures and their potential relaxation/alteration are the critical transmission mechanics between the health and economic cycles

Supply Demand

• Since COVID-19 spread from Asia to Europe it has brought countries to a near standstill as Non Pharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs) measures were put in place to slow its spread.

• NPI measures are causing significant damage to many sectors of the economy as many enterprises either have to go into hibernation or operate in severely constrained ways.

• Most governments have introduced similar NPI measures and sought to offset their impact through monetary and fiscal stimuli.

• Increasingly the focus is shifting from the health cycle to the economic and social impact and how governments start to mitigate that impact.

COVID-19: lockdown exit and recovery 3

Until a vaccine is available, NPIs may need to continue with periodic easing and tightening to manage cases within ICU capacity, so focus is shifting to how to relax the most economically damaging measures

The NPIs imposed in Europe have been economically damaging…

• Epidemiological modelling of the outbreak has suggested that in an unconstrained world deaths would be very significant and ICUs overwhelmed. The NPIs reduce the scale of the outbreak but prolong its impact.

• These models are very sensitive to assumptions. The health cycle modelling did not consider the economic impact of NPIschosen.

• Workplace and economic restrictions have been very damaging to the economy. Certain Asian markets have managed to implement more sophisticated and less damaging measures through larger testing programmes and track and trace, which is now in force in Germany and UK is trialling this approach.

• The health modelling indicates that when NPIs are relaxed there is a significant risk that they would need to be re-introduced when there are secondary surges.

COVID-19: lockdown exit and recovery 4

Strategies are now being developed to exit lockdown and “reboot” economies through a phased reopening of sectors over several months

Generic timeline

Need to see testing ramped up and pressure reduce on health services (PPE available and deaths down)

Government needs to start planning the return to work and giving companies clear signals as it will take time to work through details of the workforce return (especially if pre-school return). Government also needs to start focusing on the next supply requirements e.g. temperature testing

(phased)

• There is a pattern beginning to emerge from European countries actions and statements, that forms a generic timeline. Governments will learn from other’s experience and shape their strategy to events.

• Relaxing the current measures will take political courage. To contemplate relaxing NPIs the epidemic will need to have passed its peak and health services be under control with spare ICU capacity.

• Key will be to remove the most economically damaging NPIs, and leave in place or introduce new measures which achieve similar/significant health results.

• Early actions will probably focus on high productivity and employment sectors and those with lower workplace contact and transmission risk.

• Ideally relaxation of lock down would be coupled with a combination of greater antigen testing, antibody testing and technology for track and trace. The role of technology will introduce significant debates about privacy.

…Different geographies are testing various ‘exit strategies’ to mitigate this economic impact

COVID-19: lockdown exit and recovery 5

The relaxation of NPI will increase R(T), even a small increase above 1.0 results in a significant surge in demand for Respiratory ICU capacity

These exit strategies are linked closely to the sensitivity of ICU capacity to the infection rate R(T)

Parameter Assumption

Incubation period 5.1 days

Infection period 9.0 days

Date of first infection 10/01/2020

R0 (basic infection rate prior to government intervention) 4.4 people

R(T) (effective infection rate post government intervention) Various

Asymptomatic proportion 33.0%

Parameter Assumption

Hospitalised proportion 4.4%

Hospitalised to critical proportion 30.0%

Critical to fatality ratio 50.0%

Length of stay (acute bed) not critical 8.0 days

Length of stay (acute bed) becomes critical 6.0 days

Length of stay in ICU bed 9.6 days

Epidemiology model parameters and assumptions

• When NPI restrictions are relaxed R(T) islikely to increase from the current estimateof 0.6-1.0 back towards an unconstrained 4.4.

• The LHS chart shows expected ICU respiratory admissions in England under certain R(T) assumptions.

• The chart illustrates that even an increase to 1.5 results in demand nearly twice current enhanced “surge” capacity. The peak illustrates that “herd immunity” would constrain the spread in late 2020.

• The first issue is that there are not robust assumptions linking different NPI to their R(T) impact.

• The second issue is that there are key unknowns including the asymptomatic proportion, those who have the virus but show no signs.

• Uncertainty on the value of key parameters leads to a large confidence interval on the model predictions.

• The RHS illustrates the impact of a 50% rather than 33% asymptomatic proportion. There is still a significant surge in respiratory ICU admissions but it remains within surge capacity.

COVID-19: lockdown exit and recovery 6

The UK is behind most other countries as it is later in the cycle and has no announced plans for re-openingUK Focus

Topic Current Status

Virus ProgressionDeaths in hospital showing signs of falling but reports of significant deaths in care homes. With testing being ramped up the number of reported cases shows signs of rising. Real worries about relaxation when number of cases remains high. Official estimates of R0 are between 0.6-1.0.

Health Status Additional “Nightingale” hospitals have been opened so ICU capacity available (c, 15,000 beds) and now some being mothballed. Significant PPE challenges in hospitals causing concern.

Testing Status Achieved antigen testing target of 100,000 tests a day on April 30 and May 1 but not subsequently. No anti-viral testing programme in place. Track and trace apps being trialled on the Isle of Wight from May 6.

Restrictions Essential retail and some manufacturing / construction remains open. Airports remain open with no health restrictions but very limited flights. Proposal to impose two weeks quarantine on arrivals (except from France).

Regional variations England, Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland have local control so some variations in restrictions. For example Scotland closed all construction but England did not. Now evidence of division on stay at home message.

Relaxation statusPrime Minister announced plans on May 10 (timeline below) which emphases R0 and the number of infections as the factors upon which further relaxation will be decided. Lack of clear detail, with limited initial relaxation of current guidelines but more expected on May 11.

COVID-19: lockdown exit and recovery 7

There is a very wide range of economic forecasts given current uncertainty so we have defined downside and upside cases around our base

The Deloitte analysis has linked economic forecasts to predictions around NPIs/exit strategies…

• Our economic forecasts consider the level of NPIs and the impact that they impose on the economy (see RHS).

• The impact of the restrictions is non-linearwith significantly greater damage caused at 8-10.

• As a base case forecast we assume that the economic damage of the NPIs are relaxed in May.

• We expect the economy will recover in 2021 as it bounces back from the disastrous 2020 performance.

• In the high case the economy recovers to its previous size in just over a year where as in the low case it takes over 3 years.

Re-opening illustratively in stages from right to left is likely to alongside operational restrictions to achieve social distancing and improved hygiene NPI modifiers, Governments will typically look to accompany unlocking of specific measures with introducing the following to contain R0• Antigen tests - tests whether you have the virus, enabling people to stay

in work or isolate to reduce infection• Track & trace – to enable testing and isolation of known contacts during

immune period• Antibody tests - tests whether you have had the virus and may be

immune, although immunity is not yet proven

…and the predicted decline is extreme

• The LH chart (economic forecast on both a quarter on quarter and year on year basis) shows an extreme impact in Q2 2020. The RHS chart (which plots the data over a longer time period) shows this impact dwarfs anything seen in 2008-2010.

• The extreme nature of the swings between quarter 2 and quarter 3 serves to amplify the very significant issues with rebooting supply chains and enterprises managing to reboot their productive systems almost as quickly as they closed them down in mid/late March.

• If the period of low economic activity continues through 2020 (low case) then the challenge of restarting the economy will be even greater. The level of damage in the economy would be extreme, the unproductiveness may have become sustained and it suggests that other parts of the world may be experiencing similar issues. There would be no guarantee that all would emerge simultaneously.

• The variation in timing and nature of restrictions for different countries will determine the growth profile for each economy.

COVID-19: lockdown exit and recovery 9

Contrasting Base Case (V-shaped) and Low Case (U-shaped) scenariosThe outlook varies across the key macro indicators

Base Case (V-shaped) scenario Low Case (U-shaped) scenario

GDP growth Unprecedented drop in output in Q2, but similarly sharp recovery

More persistent GDP downturn more likely to translate into business failures – as in past recessions, but more severe?

Unemployment Large reduction in active employment in Q2, with some job protection through the furloughed scheme, protecting incomes, and much is short term.

Government measures are difficult to maintain in the longer term, as the additional debt results in significant damage to balance sheet strength. This results in greater degree of ‘real’ unemployment, and hence losses

Base Rates Likely to be at zero for a number of years given lack of inflationary pressure

Likely to be zero, but with a small risk of interest rates being forced up by loss of confidence in sterling / financial markets

Consumer price inflation

Likely to be low for quite some time, given low oil prices and general deflationary forces

Likely to be low, but there is a risk of high inflation if confidence in sterling is lost

House price inflation

Uncertain, but potential for only limited declines in prices if housing transactions are able to pick up again in late 2020

Decline in transactions and confidence would be likely to feed into sharp house price falls. Outlook much worse if the financial system weakens.

Detailed scenario analysis requires consideration of specific measures of lockdown and their respective impacts on the economy

Key assumptions in determining scenarios for the economic impact

Measure Impact Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Notes on dates

Closure of non-essential production Widespread loss of production, construction, where deemed non-essential and home-working is not possible Unwound from early May onwards

Closure of non-essential retail Loss of non-essential retail, and ‘contact services’, but online increases to compensate Unwound from late May onwards

Home-working Closure of offices Unwound from June onwards

Closure of education Closure of universities and schools. Impacts on the workforce Schools begin to open early June

Government furlough / loan scheme Government subsidies to employment and industries, to soften the blow of lockdown Runs until end of June at least

Closure of restaurants, bars, domestic tourism etc.

Loss of restaurants, bars, hotels etc. – although some can shift to takeaways Beginning opening end of June

General social distancing Reduced productivity, reduced access to shops, cafes etc. Impact on consumer confidence Gradual relaxation from July to end of year

Closure of large social events Loss of sports, live events etc. None until Q1 2021

Closure of overseas tourism Loss of tourism services Some in late 2020, fully in 2021

Quarantine rules for unwell Loss of staff Throughout 2020

Health activities related to COVID-19 Increase in health output Throughout 2020 and into 2021

The economic impact depends on the extent to which each lockdown measure is in place by Quarter (here showing Q2 2020 to Q2 2021 for the Base Case)

Full lockdown Partial lockdown Positive economic impact

COVID-19: lockdown exit and recovery 11

Exposure to lockdown, the easement of lockdown measures and potential economic response varies considerably by sector

Different industry sectors face distinct trends

Our economic forecasts of the UK sector impacts suggests that the impact on the economy varies in different periods by sector: • Q2 2020, assumed to incur the full lockdown impact;• Q3-Q4 2020, lockdown easement, but with the potential for renewed

lockdown;• A potential recession would reduce activity in Q3-Q4 2020 in certain

sectors although may sectors demonstrate a similar response in both the Base Case (V-shaped) and Low Case (U-shaped scenario). This is a result of the restrictions on activity likely to be greater than any reduction in demand

The outlook depends on how long we are in lockdown, the steps taken to unwind lockdown, the effectiveness of public policy responses and the consequent impact on the economy.

Further variation is also expected within sectors:• The size of the organisation may impact the response, with SMEs being

more vulnerable than larger companies;• Employment income, depending on the extent of furlough,

unemployment or under-employment• Regional impact across the UK
