'The first quarter of 2022 was relatively strong overall, albeit not without significant external challenges such as the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the military conflict in Ukraine. The current macro-economic climate will prolong full market recovery and increase uncertainty as to what a 'new normal' will look like, although we are more certain than ever that it will be materially different.'
