Description

Fact No 1: no one really predicted the recovery to come with supply disruptions and bottlenecks.


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


Narrated by: Mustafa Alrawi, The National's assistant editor-in-chief
