TOPSHOT - Ali Abdula, 16, guides his donkey carrying his two younger siblings, both suffering from malnutrition, past people lining up to register for aid at a camp for internally displaced persons (IDP) in Agari, North Kordofan, on June 17, 2024. More than 10 million people have been displaced within war-torn Sudan, according to figures released on June 11 by the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Since the war broke out in April 2023 between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, 7. 26 million people have fled their homes, adding to 2. 83 million already displaced by previous conflicts, the IOM said. The UN has repeatedly warned that Sudan is facing the world's worst displacement crisis, as the war shows no signs of abating and the spectre of famine haunts the country.

Generational responses to the pandemic

Devesh Mamtani from Century Financial believes the cash-hoarding tendency of each generation is influenced by what stage of the employment cycle they are in. He offers the following insights:

Baby boomers (those born before 1964): Owing to market uncertainty and the need to survive amid competition, many in this generation are looking for options to hoard more cash and increase their overall savings/investments towards risk-free assets.

Generation X (born between 1965 and 1980): Gen X is currently in its prime working years. With their personal and family finances taking a hit, Generation X is looking at multiple options, including taking out short-term loan facilities with competitive interest rates instead of dipping into their savings account.

Millennials (born between 1981 and 1996): This market situation is giving them a valuable lesson about investing early. Many millennials who had previously not saved or invested are looking to start doing so now.
