BBC World Service - World Business Report, Coronavirus continues to spread

Over 34,800 people have been infected with the new coronavirus worldwide

As the Coronavirus outbreak intensifies, with its increasing human cost, worries are also rising about how the virus will impact peoples’ livelihoods. Brian Alster of business analytics firm Dun & Bradstreet explains the impact on global supply chains, while Gloria Guevara, chief executive of the World Travel and Tourism Council, talks about how the virus is affecting tourism.
Also in the show, with votes still being counted in the Irish election, Mark Kennedy of accountancy firm Mazars in Dublin explores what the expected coalition government might do for businesses, housing and healthcare.
And as the International Monetary Fund prepares to send a delegation to Argentina, Vice President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has said the government will not pay any of the debt it owes the fund until the country has exited recession. Jimena Blanco of Verisk Maplecroft in Buenos Aires explains why Argentina says it can’t pay. 
And we’ll have a look ahead to the coming week’s economic news with independent economist Michael Hughes.
