40% of industry groups surveyed reported severe short-term supply disruption. This is stated according to the report by the respected German Economic Institute, reported by Handelsblatt newspaper. A further third were seeing more modest disruption. Severe disruptions were reported by the sectors. These inputs range from microchips and wood for construction, including the car and plastics industries as well as the textile, leather and construction industries.

The institute warned that the rapid pace of vaccination in Europe’s largest economy, would likely unleash sharp demand growth and this might end up highlighting the supply problems.
