The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic is having a profound impact on Canada’s economy, including the nation’s food-retail sector, as evidenced by a surge in sales, an acceleration in e-commerce penetration, as well as changing operating cost structures and investment patterns. In this webinar, DBRS Morningstar will explore the pandemic’s near and long-term effects on Canada’s food retailers and contemplate how they affect our view on credit risk in the sector.

The discussion will last approximately 20 to 25 minutes and will be followed by an interactive question-and-answer session. DBRS Morningstar welcomes all who wish to participate.
