The 2020 pandemic has deeply affected the world economic system, suspending production, evaluation methods and scenario forecasting.

Global governments’ intervention has been able to cushion the impact of lockdowns and the global slowdown, but what awaits us when we get back to "normal"?

Credit, active or passive, is the engine that powers the economic, banking and insurance sectors. Will we need a new approach to credit or will we have to live with the old methodologies and absorb the pandemic as if it were an unforeseen event?
