International Fragmentation of Production and Global Value Chains The Integration of Production has changed the international division of labor: As recently as 30 years ago, products were assembled in one country, using inputs from that same country. Measuring trade was thus easy. 2011 is very different. Manufacturing is driven by global supply chains, while most imports should be stamped “made globally”, not “made in China”, or similar. This is not an academic distinction. (...) It isn’t just phones. Automobiles, aircraft, electronics – even clothing – are increasingly made in many countries. No car or commercial jet could now be built with inputs from just one country. Business leaders also know that new trade frictions are especially damaging in an era of global supply chains. (Pascal Lamy, “Made in China’ tells us little about global trade” January 24 2011, Financial Times) 7

Commercial Skirmishes or Commercial War? From NAFTA to USMCA • On Augurst 27, 2018 the United States reached an agreement with Mexico meant to establish new commercial rules originally making up the North America free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) • There are two articoles of the Agreement that will likely strongly affect production and trade of automobiles: • 75% of the value of parts and componenets assembled in US cars and vehicles musy come from within North America (local content requirement rule); • Between 40 and 45 percent of of the value incorporated in a vehivle must originate in plants where workers are receiving a gross wage of at least $ 16/h. • What about Canada? Negotiations are ongoing…. And Mr. Trump has not made it a secret that canada may be excluded from the Agreement. 18
In the way of a conclusion • The last 70 years have been characterized by the progressive liberalization of world trade in the framework of the multilateralism desired by the USA • With the Trump Presidency, a process of deep revision of US trade policy has begun, increasingly characterized by decreasing degrees of multilateralism and the use of tariffs and trade restrictions country by country • The global distribution of the production chains makes the protectionist attack to a country an element of concern for all its suppliers. It follows that the depressive effect of the duties on the economy will not be limited to the target country alone • We believe that the USMCA represents an important novelty in the way commercial policy will be implemented in the years to come, and the way it will affect the global character of supply chains: from globalization to regionalization • We highlight these global risks and opportunities in the current macroeconomic scenario: • The growth in world demand for goods and services will remain weak, and we believe that it will be in particular that coming from the United States • To diversify the end markets in a radical way, paying close attention to the emerging countries of South-East Asia, both as importers, both as production places • Investing in product innovation, as all manufacturers will try to differentiate their product (upwards) in order to 'circumvent' the tariff barriers 19
