Making supply chains stronger
Oped, Dalia Marin, Published on 04/08/2021
» Automobile and electronics manufacturers worldwide have recently had to reduce output because a severe drought in Taiwan has hit the island's production of semiconductors. This and other global supply-chain disruptions -- many of them caused by the Covid-19 pandemic -- have prompted advanced economies to take steps to mitigate the potential impact.
