The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), first emerged in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and quickly became a global pandemic. The peak of COVID-19 deaths in Indonesia occurred on July 27, 2021, during the spread of the Delta variant - with a total of 2,069 fatalities.
The COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia has resulted in a significant slowdown in business and investment activities, leading to widespread layoffs and unpaid leaves, and forcing some businesses to suspend their operations. We find that, during the pandemic, firms in the high-vulnerability sectors experienced significantly lower levels of investments and labor demand than those in the low-vulnerability sectors.
