A külkereskedelem korlátozása Európát érintheti a legérzékenyebben

Az elmúlt évek során egyre nyilvánvalóbbá vált, hogy a nemzetközi kereskedelem és a globális ellátási láncok mennyire törékenyek. Ez hatással van az áruhiányok és az abból következő inflációs nyomás mellett az egyes gazdaságok teljesítményére, és ezáltal befolyásolja a világgazdasági versengést is.

Under the compromise agreed by Scholz's cabinet, Chinese shipping giant Cosco has the go-ahead to buy a stake "below 25 percent" in the Tollerort container terminal owned by HHLA, the economy ministry said in a statement. China's state-owned Cosco had initially sought a 35-percent stake and the deal would have automatically gone ahead if a compromise solution wasn't found this week. Scholz, a former Hamburg mayor, backed the Cosco deal and has repeatedly stressed the importance of strong trade ties between China and Europe's biggest economy.
