ZIA: "It's High Time Retail and Hospitality Joined Corona Inquiry!"
Berlin, 26.6.2025 - Aygül Özkan, CEO of ZIA, voices her concerns over the formation of the Corona Inquiry: "The ramifications of corona measures on retail and hospitality have been catastrophic. In numerous cases, lockdowns or access restrictions have spelled doom for businesses. It's mind-boggling that these two essential parts of our society have been overlooked by the Corona Inquiry. Although the initiation of the Corona Inquiry is generally beneficial and long-anticipated by ZIA, I implore the ruling parties to fold retail and hospitality into the Corona Inquiry's investigations.
With lockdown measures affecting numerous businesses, ZIA has called for scrutiny to ensure the right actions were taken. As businesses suffer, insights into the true impact of these measures are vital. In other words, it's essential to dissect the tangle of government decisions and economic consequences.
However, given the current data, the precise findings of the Corona Inquiry concerning retail and hospitality as a result of ZIA's call remain hidden.
Based on typical inquiries and industry responses, it wouldn't come as a surprise if inquiries like the Corona Inquiry scrutinized the pandemic's impact on sectors such as retail and hospitality. They would examine government support measures, restrictions, and economic impacts. The ZIA Central Real Estate Committee e.V., representing real estate interests, likely pushed for such an inquiry to analyze how pandemic measures affected commercial real estate in retail and hospitality sectors, aiming to steer policy or compensation frameworks.
However, since there's no clear data on these specific findings, it can be inferred that:
- The Corona Inquiry's findings concerning retail and hospitality, as demanded by ZIA Central Real Estate Committee e.V., haven't been released publicly.
- Current data focuses more broadly on pandemic business support evaluations and economic surveys, without highlighting the retail or hospitality inquiry findings.
- Discussions about hospitality sector struggles and government responses have surfaced for other countries (e.g., Indonesia), but they don't relate to the ZIA inquiry's findings.
In conclusion, there's no publicly revealed data or cited findings from the Corona Inquiry related to retail and hospitality as demanded by ZIA Central Real Estate Committee e.V. at present. More targeted sources or official inquiry records would be needed to release the information.**
- Considering ZIA's call for retail and hospitality to be included in the Corona Inquiry, it remains unclear whether the findings related to these sectors have been released publicly.
- The ZIA Central Real Estate Committee e.V.'s demand for an inquiry into the impact of pandemic measures on commercial real estate in retail and hospitality sectors hasn't been addressed in the currently available data or cited findings from the Corona Inquiry.
