Within the Finance and IT sectors, data analytics solution provider iDelta believes many are very well placed to continue to operate on a business as usual footing in the face of the pandemic. While finance sector PLCs are inherently risk averse, iDelta believes there is a broader risk attached to any cancellation or suspension of programmes of work – many SMEs in the sector would be forced to scale back, resulting in further job losses. There is an opportunity here for finance sector PLCs to help by maintaining or increasing the volume of project work, keeping staff, suppliers and contractors engaged so that the finance sector of the economy is part of the economic solution rather than another part of the problem.
