Consumers face supply chain disruptions, higher prices for goods and services, reduced availability of products, increased transportation costs, and potential shortages during strike periods. Household purchasing power may decline due to economic uncertainty and business closures.
Government may need to implement emergency economic measures, negotiate labor agreements, increase security spending, and potentially introduce price controls or subsidies. International investors may demand policy clarity on social stability and rule of law. Central bank may face pressure to stabilize currency and inflation.
