The supply chain crisis is not over yet. It might take a turn for the worse because of the omicron variant of the coronavirus. This is what is causing the trading industry a lot of trouble and tension.
When it was finally thought that the supply chain crisis might have come to a reasonable place and might get better in the future with the passage of time. This might not be happening any time soon now because now we are not proceeding forward, we are going backward if anything.
The ports and the companies have been battling this since the beginning of the year. It is indeed a real problem that needs to be dealt with.
It might be a shock to the people to see that they were so close, and now this unknown variant had been added to the equation, causing a lot of confusion and throwing away everything that people had worked for in the last year to make the situation better. It is indeed very disappointing, to say the least.
“Supply chains remain vulnerable to pandemic-related disruptions, with the Omicron variant highlighting that the crisis is not yet over,” said Sian Fenner in a statement to the news. He is a lead Asia economist at Oxford Economics.

We all know that the omicron variant had been recently found, and it is causing the entire world to go into a state of panic. The World Health Organization had even said that this variant might have a high-risk factor among even the vaccinated people.
They have not confirmed it, but they have hinted at it. And in all of this chaos, to make the situation worse, the people are going crazy over the supposed claims of the World Health Organization and the travel bans and other steps taken by governments all over the world. That being said, we do hope that the trade industry does not take a significant hit like before.
