Supply Chains, Shortages, and Inflation: What to Expect in 2022

The importance of supply chains have come to the fore during the COVID-19 pandemic in a way that it never has, and the concomitant shortages and inflation that have accompanied these supply chain disruptions are now some of most important factors plaguing the economy. The current Omicron surge presents another complication to the labor shortages and supply chain dislocations that are already present. This talk will discuss the outlook for supply chains, shortages, and inflation in 2022, and with that the risks and opportunities for different industries including semiconductors, digital technology, professional services, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and more.
