The disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have demonstrated how disruptions significantly affect the economy with the increase in inflation. Supply disruptions play a significant role on the inflation due to the collapse of several supply chains at global level following COVID-19 outbreak.  Such phenomenon has been called ‘supply chain-flation’. This has become an urgent issue for economics and supply chain management professional and academics.

The objective of the seminar is to explore how supply chain disruptions might affect economic aggregates including inflation, market volatility and consumer confidence. The effects of supply chain disruptions are assessed using the Global Supply Chain Pressure Index of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank. Other aggregates such as consumer price index, equity market volatility, and consumer confidence index are retrieved from U.S. data sources. Based on preliminary results, insights for research and decision makers might be drawn and discussed.
