How supply chains matter!

As we know, global lockdowns had a huge impact on the economy. The shutdown meant that containers didn't move around and when they did they quadrupled in price due to a speedy reopening in trade. That also led to something called ‘nearshoring’ whereby importers wanted to have reliable producers closer to their main hub - even if that meant paying way more. And that in turn has kickstarted inflation issues with which we are only now emerging. So supply chains matter.
