Global trade in flux: Is nearshoring the answer?
Geopolitical uncertainty, a move towards protectionism and environmental disasters have put pressure on procurement to reconfigure their global supply chains to minimise risk and increase security of supply. Is bringing the production of goods and products closer to the point of supply the answer? Is the example being set in Mexico going to be replicated in Europe? And what is the likely long-term impact on supply chains? CIPS' global economist will share new data from our recent State of Supply report and present his thoughts for the future.
