Building on the recent progress in June in Singapore, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced further progress operationalizing the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF) Supply Chain Agreement. The three Supply Chain Agreement bodies – the Supply Chain Council, the Crisis Response Network, and the Labor Rights Advisory Board – held their first virtual meetings and elected Chairs and Vice Chairs to help carry forward the work ahead. This marks a significant step in realizing the Agreement’s goals of strengthening critical supply chain resiliency and competitiveness. “The economic impact of COVID-19 exposed vulnerabilities in our supply chains that caused a ripple effect across the country and around the world. To safeguard our supply chains from future global disruptions – whether it be a pandemic or natural disaster – we knew we needed to act swiftly and decisively,” said Secretary Gina Raimondo. “Under President Biden and Vice President Harris’ leadership, we established IPEF, and barely two-years later, are quickly working together with our partners to ensure we’re prepared to mitigate the impact of crises, while building a stronger, more prosperous economy for American workers, consumers, and businesses.” https://lnkd.in/eEaq9YMN
