The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has published its World Investment Report 2020, which highlights that coronavirus (COVID-19) will likely change the nature of global production. The report concluded that coronavirus will amplify existing challenges within the global production market including the new industrial revolution, growing economic nationalism, and focus on sustainability. The outcome is likely to play out differently across countries and regions, resulting in four outcomes: reshoring, diversification, regionalisation and replication.
