Manufacturing Talk Radio Hosts interview Cliff Waldman, CEO of New World Economics, about the Major Issues Manufacturers Face

FAIRFIELD, NEW JERSEY, UNITED STATES, December 28, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Manufacturing Talk Radio hosts Lew Weiss and Tim Grady discuss the headwinds facing manufacturing in 2022 with Cliff Waldman, noted economist and CEO of New World Economics, including the persistence of pandemic uncertainty, the supply chain difficulties, inflation, fiscal and monetary policy, and the global outlook for manufacturing. Although 2020 was a difficult year, 2021 proved to be better, and 2022 looks to expand upon the gains made in 2021.

The most uncertain headwind for global economies, including manufacturing in every country, is Covid and its variants that have temporarily reduced worker availability across all industries which diminishes throughput and output. The unknown virulence of any new strain is unpredictable in its impact on future work hours from raw material producers, transport to manufacturing, production of goods, transport to warehouses or ships, loading and unloading, transport to retail locations, and eventual consumption. "The better term for the supply chain is the supply system, which is made up of multiple supply sources and delivery mechanisms that are all in severe flux at present, and may be in flux throughout 2022," said Waldman.

Inflation has transitioned from transitory to troubling in that it will not go away in 2022, and monetary policy may induce an over-correction which often ends badly with a recession. This could be the case later in Q4 of 2022, especially if a combination of headwinds combine together into an unwanted storm. All of the developed countries face similar issues, which sets up the potential for a global recession based on the monetary policies of each of the countries across the global economic spectrum.

This year-end wrap-up and 2022 forecast show can be heard on more than two dozen podcast listening platforms including Google Play, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, Spotify, C-Suite Radio, Stitcher, Spreaker, and Blubrry.
