The  Covid-19 pandemic has led to major disruptions to local and global value chains (GVCs), with consequences for businesses, consumers and the global economy. At the same time, the crisis has brought the complexity of international production fragmentation and the dependence on global supply chains into the spotlight.

GVCs have proven to be highly important, even in times of crisis.
