Vulnerability of Canadian industries to disruptions in global supply chains

Vulnerability of Canadian industries to disruptions in global supply chains The COVID-19 pandemic has renewed interest in international supply chains. While international supply chains proved to be very robust in the pandemic period of closed borders, restrictions on movement of people and goods, and closures of businesses, the pandemic proved the need for better tools, particularly for policy makers, to ascertain the health and resilience of international supply chains and the impact they have on their respective economies. This report attempts to provide one such tool with the creation of a set of indices to measure the vulnerability of Canadian industries to disruptions in both upstream and downstream international supply chains. 2023-07-24 Global Affairs Canada open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca Economics and IndustryGovernment and PoliticsTransportinternaitonal supply chainsclosed bordersrestrictionsclosureseconomyvulnerabilityupstreamdownstream Vulnerability of Canadian industries to disruptions in global supply chainsHTML https://www.international.gc.ca/trade-commerce/economist-economiste/analysis-analyse/supply-chain-vulnerability.aspx?lang=eng Vulnerability of Canadian industries to disruptions in global supply chains HTML https://www.international.gc.ca/trade-commerce/economist-economiste/analysis-analyse/supply-chain-vulnerability.aspx?lang=fra
