BBC World Service - Business Matters, More supply chain disruption

Congestion at global ports adds to concerns over global supply chains

UK, US and Chinese ports are all suffering from congestion for a number of reasons, compounding the disruption to global supply chains that started with the pandemic. LoriAnn LaRocco, maritime trade analyst and author explains why so many different parts of the world are suffering all at the same time. The IMF has lowered its projections for global economic growth and warns on inflation, meanwhile G20 countries pledge billions to support Afghanistan's economy, a former World Bank employee, Mohib Iqbal gives us his opinion. The world's cement producers aim to drastically reduce their CO2 emissions, Thomas Guillot, CEO of the Global Cement and Concrete Association tells us how, and we hear about measures to control rising rents in Berlin. 
Our guests are Alexis Goldstein, financial reform advocate in Washington DC and Dimuthu Attanayake, journalist and researcher from Colombo, Sri Lanka.
