SunStar Business leaders hope for better 2021, but risks loom BETTER YEAR. Business leaders expect the economy to improve amid the new challenges of this pandemic-induced economic crisis. / SUNSTAR FILE + December 31, 2020 THE new Covid-19 strain has dampened the positive 2021 outlook of the business community that was gearing up for its road to recovery. As business leaders looked forward to the vaccination of the population, the new virus variant meant that enterprises would again brace for another year full of evolving policies and uncertainties. “While the emergence of the vaccine against Covid-19 provides at least a psychic relief for all, worrying mutation of the viral disease is a damper. Against this constant threat late into the year, it would be best to remain vigilant and conservative,” Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Felix Taguiam told SunStar Cebu.
