With the death toll mounting every day and hospitals choked with patients, human lives are not the only loss that the country is bearing. With the lockdown tightened in major provinces, the Pakistani economy is on life support as well.

Where Does Pakistan Stand?

The Planning Commission states that the country’s GDP approximately measured up to Rs44 trillion. The economic instability caused by COVID-19 has cost us at least Rs1.3 trillion.

While the rest of the world—the US, EU, Japan and China—have sufficient reserves to survive the economic fallout, Pakistan does not. Pakistan is an under developed country that can barely sustain the blows of this lethal pandemic.

How Have Businesses Suffered?

Businesses are operating at half their maximum capacities. The fall in demand is hammering every sector, with small businesses struggling the most. A donation of Rs50 billion to SMEs and Rs75 billion to daily wage labourers that have lost their livelihood is only a temporary fix. There needs to be a permanent solution for the economy if COVID-19 turns into an endemic.

But all hope is not lost because we still have the digital grounds to land on. The only space free of lockdown restrictions and the scare of corona virus is the digital landscape. Employing focused digital marketing strategies is the need of the hour. And here’s how it can help:
