The economic and social costs of the Corona crisis are immense. Governments around the world are providing income support to households and companies. This webinar will address questions such as: Can we afford these large-scale interventions and who will ultimately pay for them? What strategies exist on a national and the European level to keep the costs as small as possible? How have we dealt with the financial costs of great disasters in the past?
