🌍 Strengthening EU Firms' Resilience Amid Supply Chain Disruptions 🚚 Today, the European Investment Bank (EIB), in collaboration with the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs (DG GROW), has launched a crucial report: 'Navigating Supply Chain Disruptions: New Insights on the Resilience and Transformation of EU Firms.' Key takeaways: 🔹 Agility in action: EU firms have shown remarkable adaptability in addressing supply chain disruptions. 🔸 Diversification matters: 44% of firms relying on imports from China reported logistics disruptions, compared to 22% for those importing within the EU. 🔹 Innovation leads resilience: firms are boosting resilience through digitalisation, better management, and innovation. The findings, presented today in Brussels, come at a pivotal moment as policy discussions focus on geopolitical tensions and economic security. The report underscores the increasing dependence on imports from China, now accounting for 27% of EU imports. Conversely, it highlights a rising share of exports to the United States, now at 21%, reflecting shifting trade dynamics. 💼 Despite challenges, EU firms are taking proactive steps by diversifying trade partners, investing in digital tracking, and increasing inventories to mitigate risks.
