Análisis de los riesgos materializados por la pandemia del Covid-19 y sus impactos en bares y discotecas de la ciudad de Medellín

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to analyze the financial impacts of the risks materialized by the COVID-19 pandemic in bars and clubs classified as small businesses in the city of Medellín. For this, the identification of the risks and their financial impacts was carried out through a mixed methodology with the implementation of interviews with the main representatives of the guild and application of surveys aimed at the owners or managers of these establishments. The results obtained allowed to know the economic losses presented by the respondents, which served as a starting point to make the projection of the VaR (Value at Risk) of the sector at the local level and its extrapolation at the national level, making visible the financial reality and the capacity that the sector has in order to make its operation sustainable. This research may serve to strengthen government public policies and relief programs for this guild, opening lines of research to give continuity to risk management such as the monitoring of these and the effectiveness of the controls implemented.
