Central Bank: Another lockdown would have 'very serious implications' for economy

Gabriel Makhlouf says living with virus means economic activity needing to continue as best it can

Central Bank governor Gabriel Makhlouf: 'I think another lockdown across the whole country would have very serious implications for the economy and for the community at large.'

Placing the country back into a widespread lockdown to mitigate the spread of Covid-19 would have “very serious implications” for the economy, the head of the Central Bank has warned.

Gabriel Makhlouf said it seems the virus will not be eliminated in the next few months and we need to learn how to live with it as best we can.
