The survey also revealed that respondents' consumption intentions remain weak on non-essential social activities, demonstrating the essential role that people's psychology plays in the demand side of the economy, and that effective control of the pandemic is of paramount significance to easing people's worries and fears. 43% of respondents indicate a reduction in living expenses and 68% indicate they will pay more attention to investing in their personal health.

Dr. Liu Jing, Professor of Accounting and Finance and Associate Dean of CKGSB and Director of CKGSB's Center for Investment Research, who leads the research said, "Investors should increase their gold holdings to mitigate or avoid potential risks. A-shares and the Hong Kong stock market have a good price-performance ratio, and may perform better if the government enhances its stimulus plan. Furthermore, technology driven sectors are promising and have indirectly proved their robustness during the pandemic."
