IMF chief economist Silvana Tenreyro said countries must adopt comprehensive
supply‑side resilience strategies to manage disruptions from extreme weather and
geopolitical shocks. She said effective plans should involve both public and
private sectors, limit immediate damage and reduce future vulnerability.
Tenreyro urged stronger buffers in key sectors and increased investment in
critical technologies with few substitutes, notably energy. She warned full
reshoring is not viable for most countries and recommended trade
diversification, expanded strategic stockpiles in key industries and targeted
technology investment to boost adaptive capacity to future supply‑chain shocks.
