AYLIEN’s Coronavirus News Dashboard

The COVID-19 pandemic has seen disruption of a magnitude few of us have previously encountered.

Most organizations are currently looking for ways to protect themselves. In financial institutions across the world, risk management teams are working on overdrive to identify and assess the impact of emerging risks associated with COVID-19 so that mitigation can be planned and implemented. We’ve spent some time covering some of these topics and applications for news in previous blogs.

News as a Risk Signal

One aspect of an emerging risk strategy is monitoring the news. Global and regional news has played a huge part in this crisis, ever since the first whispers that something terrifying was happening started to emanate from Wuhan.

Predicting what will happen next, however, is obviously extremely difficult, but utilizing the news to track what has already happened, and what is currently happening, is essential to gauge particular impacts, and advise mitigation plans.

There is a problem though: the volume of news is overwhelming. Combing through it manually is simply not effective or efficient (or even possible) for the majority of organizations. That’s why AYLIEN has built an intuitive and easily digestible real-time dashboard for tracking the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on countries, industries, and companies.

AYLIEN’s coronavirus news dashboard is intended for financial institutions that are looking to identify, track, and quantify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the world economy and on their own business.

In the meantime here’s hoping that in the next few months, there will be a rush of positive articles from researchers and journalists about a global recovery.

Stay safe everyone.
