Policy Action
At root, the COVID-19 pandemic is a global problem requiring global solutions. All policy levers must be used to combat both the health crisis and the huge strains it is placing on the global economy.
​
ICC’s priorities are to ensure that governments take effective action to protect health-supporting small businesses and keeping the global economy ticking. Supply chains – both for essential medical equipment and for regular goods and services – must not be allowed to fail. And governments, international organisations and businesses must join forces and cooperate effectively both to handle the crisis and rebuild the economy for the long-term.
​
ICC has been engaging with G20 leaders and ministers and is working closely with key international bodies – including the UN, WHO, IMF and ITUC – to encourage coordinated and effective global action.
