Fact Number 2: there is a consensus that supply-chain disruptions are transitory. But what caused these bottlenecks in the first place? And what happens to the recovery if these disruptions persist longer than expected?
Could the pandemic and the recovery signal the end of globalisation as we know it?
Guests:Petya Koeva Brooks, Deputy Director in the IMF's Strategy, Policy, and Review Department
Simon MacAdam, Senior Global Economist at Capital Economics
Silja Baller, Insights Lead, Frontier Insights, the World Economic Forum
Mahir Rasheed, US economist at Oxford Economics
