Dear Wei Teck,
Another homework assignment?
I'd like to add to the tourism contribution.
If transportation was targetted, you'd see work interruptions.
This could result in losses due to missed deadlines and subsequent
claims. Insurance companies would have to liquidate assets to make
payouts. Stock market prices would likely fall as insurance
companies liquidated their investments and construction
would boom and building materials increase in price. A
recession could arise from the depressed stock market in the
interim.
There would be pressure by the people on the Government to
resolve these attacks, which is mainly what terrorists are
after.
