Day three of the Global Board is Before Us.   We hereby present a snapshot of Day 2 courtesy the team at the Financial Times as we look forward to be back next week with reflections as our team works away on #LifeAfterCovid:

GLOBAL DIGITAL CONFERENCE 12 - 14 May

On day two of the FT's live digital Global Boardroom event, Ángel Gurría, secretary-general of the OECD, warned that the extra debt governments are taking on to tackle the crisis "will come back to haunt us", while the World Health Organization's chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan said it will be "four or five years" before Covid-19 is under control in a bleak assessment of the challenges ahead. Tony Blair, former British prime minister, said there are only two ways to handle the crisis: "stupid or smart", and that global collaboration was crucial. Meanwhile, Volvo chief executive Hakan Samulesson said he had reopened European factories, but would run them according to demand. Former US Vice-president Al Gore urged the Trump administration to listen to scientists on health risks, and not "roll the dice for a bit of extra growth".
