Pestilence, Famine, War… Death? The Future of Trade
Market & Economies
Description
Supply chains and trading relationships have been through a lot: COVID-19, labor shortages, shipping container shortages, food shortages, inflation, the energy shock, the Ukraine crisis, conscious decoupling, friend shoring, industrial policy, massive subsidies – all of which have placed unprecedented strain on the global economy. Some traditional relationships have weakened while new ones have formed. Experts reflect on what has worked, what has not, and what the future might hold for supply chains and trade relationships.
