In General

The Covid-19 pandemic and other recent events have led to supply chain distress across countries and industrial ecosystems, putting economic players – especially SMEs – in very difficult situations.

Last year, the EC committed a study on the supply chains disruptions. The output – published in March 2022 – was a paper :

  1. proposing a methodology to detect and analyse supply chains disruptions
  2.  investigating the relation between the import price variation and several dependency indicators, as well as long-term demand variations in order to understand the likely determinants of price pressures associated with shortages
  3. exploring possible avenues for further research
