Economic activity has since started picking up, in part to domestic demand driven by the massive reconstruction effort. Uncertainties remain, however, surrounding the restructuring of power supply and both national and global economic prospects. The year 2011 will be remembered for the severe challenges to the global supply chain posed by the GEJE and the Thai flood. As an important part of the networked production system, developing countries must share responsibility in making the supply chain more resilient under international cooperation. This report gives findings; global supply chains; lessons; and recommendations for developing countries.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCIDENTACCOUNTINGAGENCY PROBLEMSAGGLOMERATION ECONOMIESAGRICULTUREAIRPORTSALTERNATIVE ENERGYAUTO PRODUCTIONAUTOMOBILEAUTOMOBILE INDUSTRYAUTOMOBILE PRODUCTIONAUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRYBACK UPBACK-UPBACKUPBALANCE SHEETBALANCE SHEETSBANKRUPTCYBANKSBORDER TRANSPORTATIONBORROWINGBOTTLENECKSBUSINESS ACTIVITIESBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESSESBUYERBUYERSCARSCLIMATE CHANGECOLLECTIVE ACTIONCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPUTERSCONNECTIVITYCONSUMER ELECTRONICSCUSTOMIZATIONCUSTOMSCUSTOMS CLEARANCEDAMAGE FIGURESDAMAGESDEBTDECENTRALIZATIONDEFLATIONDISASTERDISASTER PREVENTIONDISASTER REDUCTIONDISASTER RISKDISASTER RISKSDISASTERSDOMESTIC TRAVELDRAINAGEEARTHQUAKEEARTHQUAKESECONOMIC ACTIVITIESECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC INTEGRATIONECONOMIC OUTLOOKECONOMICSELECTRICITYEMERGENCIESEMERGENCY RELIEFEMERGENCY RELIEF MEASURESENABLING ENVIRONMENTEQUIPMENTEVACUATIONEXCHANGE RATESEXPORTSFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL INTERMEDIARYFINANCIAL SERVICEFINANCIAL SERVICESFLOODFLOODEDFLOODINGFLOW OF GOODSFREE TRADEGDPGLOBAL MARKETGLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINGLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINSGLOBALIZATIONGOVERNMENT BONDSGOVERNMENT POLICIESGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROWTH PATHHARD DISKHIGHWAYSINDUSTRIAL PRODUCTIONINSPECTIONINSURANCEINSURANCE COMPANIESINTEREST RATESINTERNATIONAL TRAVELLAND-USE PLANNINGLIQUIDITYMANUFACTURINGMANUFACTURING INDUSTRIESMANUFACTURING INDUSTRYMARKET EQUILIBRIUMMARKETINGMATERIALMEDIUM ENTERPRISESMONITORING COSTSMOTOR VEHICLESNATURAL DISASTERNATURAL DISASTERSNATURAL RESOURCESOUTBREAKOUTSOURCINGPEAK-TIMEPOSITIVE EFFECTSPRIVATE SECTORPROCUREMENTPRODUCTION FUNCTIONRAILWAYSREPATRIATIONRESULTRESULTSRETAIL PRICESRETENTIONRISK AVERSIONROADROAD DAMAGEROADSSAFETYSECURITIESSTANDARDIZATIONSUPPLIERSSUPPLY CHAIN FLOWSUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENTTARGETSTAXTAXATIONTRANSPORTTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT TECHNOLOGYTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION NETWORKSTRANSPORTATION SYSTEMSTSUNAMITSUNAMISURBAN SPRAWLUSESVALUATIONWEBWEB SITEWorld Bank10.1596/16151
