Can Business Thrive in a Fractured World?
From The Call by the Global Intelligence Desk · 16:47
Show by The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Global Intelligence Desk
The rules of global business are changing. Open markets, low-cost supply chains, and predictable trade policies can no longer be taken for granted. As governments prioritize economic security, companies face a difficult question: how much efficiency are they willing to sacrifice for resilience?In the 100th episode of The Call, recorded live at the B20 in Washington, D.C., host Jay Sapsford speaks with David Bohigian, CEO of Meridian International Center, about how businesses can navigate an increasingly fractured global economy.One revealing statistic captures the shift: American companies are holding roughly 16% more inventory relative to sales than they did before the pandemic. That means more capital tied up in supply chains as businesses protect themselves against future disruptions.But is this the new normal? And can businesses remain competitive while governments increasingly use trade, investment, and technology to advance national security?-The Call is a series of live video conversations featuring expert guests from the U.S. Chamber's Global Intelligence Desk. Live access to The Call is a benefit to the Chamber’s members; however, we are pleased to provide recordings of the calls for wider listening thereafter.Learn more about the Global Intelligence Desk: https://globalintelligencedesk.com/Join the conversation on LinkedIn: / global-intelligence-desk
