The hidden costs of resilience: Financing the new supply chain reality
About this episode
The episode discusses the structural changes in supply chains due to geopolitical factors and the need for companies to adapt their financing strategies.
In this episode, Dominic Drew from the Trade and Working Capital team is joined by Natasha Condon, global head of Sales for Trade and Working Capital, and Kyle Hutzler from the JPMorganChase Center for Geopolitics to discuss the fundamental repricing of supply chains. The discussion delves into how geopolitics, tariffs, and overlapping disruptions are prompting companies to carry higher inventory levels, build liquidity buffers, and reassess the allocation of resilience costs across complex ecosystems. The conversation highlights why these changes are structural rather than cyclical, identifies emerging pressure points, and examines how capital allocation and financing strategies are adapting to support more resilient supply chains This episode was recorded on April 20, 2026. ©2026 JPMorgan Chase & Co.
