Ngonyaka odlule ka-2020, isici "sobhubhane" siqhubeka unyaka wonke, futhi intuthuko yemakethe ibonise ukuguquguquka okukhulu. Kodwa-ke, kukhona nezinye izindawo ezinhle ebunzimeni. Imakethe yokuhweba yangaphandle yaseShayina iqashelwa njengensimu ethuthuka ngokushesha ngo-2020.
* Kungani “ihhashi elimnyama” laseShayina linamandla kangaka? Uzokwazi ngemva kokulifunda!
Kusukela engxenyeni yesibili yonyaka, amazwe angaphandle athintekile yilolu bhubhane, futhi isidingo sokuhweba emakethe yaseShayina sikhuphuke kakhulu. Izimboni eziningi zifinyelele ukwanda okukhulu kuma-oda okuhweba ngokuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe uma kuqhathaniswa nesikhathi esifanayo ngonyaka odlule, futhi amanye amabhizinisi aze abona ukukhula okuningana. Konke lokhu kuyinzuzo elethwa yimakethe yokuhweba kwamanye amazwe.
Kodwa akuwona wonke amazwe abona ukwanda kokuhweba kwamanye amazwe. Ngokusho kwemibiko yabezindaba bakwamanye amazwe, amabhizinisi amancane angu-250,000 e-UK abhekene nokuphelelwa yimali kulo nyaka. Abathengisi base-US bavale izitolo ezingu-8,401, kanti kungenzeka ukuthi baningi abazolandela.
I-Federation of Small Businesses ixwayise ngoMsombuluko ukuthi okungenani amabhizinisi amancane angu-250,000 e-UK azovala ngo-2021 ngaphandle kokuthi kunikezwe ukwesekwa okwengeziwe kukahulumeni, okungenzeka ukuthi kuzobangela enye ingozi emnothweni obhekene nokwehla komnotho kabili.
Lesi sixwayiso siza njengoba i-UK iphinda ibeka ukuvimba ukuze ilawule ubhubhane olusha, uhlelo lwezibhedlela lugcwele kakhulu futhi ukulahleka kwemisebenzi kuyanda. Amaqembu e-lobby athi usizo oluphuthumayo olungama-pound ayizigidigidi ezingu-4.6 (cishe amaRandi ayizigidigidi ezingu-6.2) olwamenyezelwa nguNgqongqoshe Wezezimali waseBrithani uRishi Sunak ekuqaleni kokuvimba alwanele neze.
UMike Cherry, usihlalo we-Federation of Small Businesses, uthe: “Ukuthuthukiswa kwezinyathelo zokusekela amabhizinisi akuhambisani nemingcele ekhulayo futhi singalahlekelwa amakhulu ezinkulungwane zamabhizinisi amancane amahle ngo-2021, okuzolimaza kakhulu imiphakathi yendawo kanye nezindlela zokuphila zabantu ngabanye.”
Ucwaningo lwekota lwenhlangano luthole ukuthi ukuzethemba kwebhizinisi e-UK bekusezingeni lesibili eliphansi kakhulu selokhu kwaqala ucwaningo eminyakeni eyi-10 eyedlule, cishe amaphesenti ama-5 emabhizinisini ayi-1,400 ahlolwe alindele ukuvala kulo nyaka. Ngokwezibalo zikahulumeni, kunezinkampani ezincane ezingaba yizigidi ezingu-5.9 e-UK.
Imboni yezitolo yaseMelika, eseyivale abantu abangu-8,000, ilungiselela elinye igagasi lokuwa kwezimali ngo-2021.
Imboni yokuthengisa yase-US isivele ishintsha ngaphambi kuka-2020. Kodwa ukufika kwalolu bhubhane olusha kuye kwasheshisa lolo shintsho, kwashintsha kakhulu indlela abantu abathenga ngayo nendawo abathenga kuyo, kanye nomnotho obanzi.
Izitolo eziningi ezakhiwe ngezitini nodaka zivaliwe unomphela njengoba ziphoqelekile ukunciphisa noma ukufaka isicelo sokuqothuka. Umfutho we-Amazon awunakuvinjelwa njengoba izigidi zabantu zithenga ku-inthanethi, ngenxa yokuzihlukanisa ekhaya kanye nezinye izindlela zokuqapha.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, izitolo ezithengisa izinto ezidingekayo empilweni zingaqhubeka nokusebenza; Ngakolunye uhlangothi, izitolo ezithengisa ezinye izinto ezingezona ezibalulekile ziphoqelekile ukuvala. Igebe phakathi kwalezi zindlela ezimbili lenze kwaba nzima kakhulu ezitolo ezinkulu ezibhekene nobunzima.
Uma sibheka uhlu lwezinkampani ezizobhidlika ngo-2020, zimbalwa izimboni ezizovikeleka ekuwohlokeni komnotho okubangelwe ubhubhane olusha. Abathengisi u-JC Penney, uNeiman Marcus no-J.Crew, inkampani enkulu yokuqasha izimoto i-Hertz, inkampani yezitolo ezinkulu i-CBL & Associates Properties, umhlinzeki we-inthanethi i-Frontier Communications, umhlinzeki wezinsizakalo zensimu kawoyela i-Superior Energy Services kanye nenkampani yesibhedlela i-Quorum Health baphakathi kwezinkampani ezisohlwini lokuqothuka.
Ihhovisi lokubalwa kwabantu lase-US likhiphe isitatimende sabezindaba sathi ngoDisemba 30, i-“Small Pulse Survey” (Small Business Pulse Survey) yokuqoqa idatha ngoDisemba 21 kuya ku-27 iqinisekisile ukuthi ngaphansi kwethonya lokuqubuka kwalesi sifo, kumakota amathathu okuqala alo nyaka izwe linabantu abangaphezu kwezintathu kwezintathu abaninimabhizinisi amancane abanomthelela ophansi kakhulu kulokhu okungenhla, okuthinteke kakhulu yimboni yezindawo zokuhlala nezokupheka.
Amaphesenti abanikazi bamabhizinisi amancane kuzwelonke “abathinteke kakhulu” ngaleso sikhathi ayengu-30.4%, uma kuqhathaniswa namaphesenti angu-67 emkhakheni wezindawo zokuhlala nezindawo zokudlela. Abathengisi abancane benze kangcono kancane, kanti amaphesenti angu-25.5 athi “bathinteke kakhulu”.
Nakuba umuthi wokugomela omusha usuqalile ukunikezwa e-United States, onikeza abathengi ithuba elidingekayo kakhulu, u-2021 uzoba unyaka onzima ezinkampanini zakwamanye amazwe.
Isimo semakethe yangaphandle asibikezeleki, phinda ukhumbuze abangani bezohwebo lwangaphandle ukuthi bahlale benaka ulwazi olufanele, basebenzise amathuba ebhizinisi ngesikhathi esifanayo ukuze baqaphele futhi balondoloze ukuzethemba.
