COVID-19 Impact Tracker

Visa believes that where you shop matters today more than ever and has launched a new initiative to support small businesses throughout the CEMEA region.

From purchasing habits to frequency of visits, COVID-19 has transformed how consumers interact with merchants. But will these changes be temporary, or has the global pandemic changed the face of commerce forever? Those are the questions we are seeking to answer with our COVID-19 Impact Tracker, a survey of merchants and consumers from throughout the CEMEA region. The results of the first wave of our survey are published here, offering unique insights on economic activity across diverse markets, and showing how merchants are looking to technology, among other things, to ensure they are best placed to take advantage of an expected recovery.
