The coronavirus crisis has exacerbated ongoing global economic issues. With a sea metaphor, professor of finance at the University of NSW-Canberra Max Tani explains SBS Italian how the crisis is affecting every major economy.


"When the tide of the economy sea becomes low, it becomes apparent who is wearing bathers and can keep on playing and who doesn't." 

Professor Max Tani goes philosophical on SBS Italian, explaining the recent wave of interest rates cuts and Italy's woeful growth forecast.
