## Slowdown in Supply Chain Transfer The easing of tariffs imposed by the United States is directly impacting the transfer of supply chains to Southeast Asia. Many companies had planned to move their production activities to this region to mitigate the risks arising from global trade tensions. This change in scenario is forcing companies to reconsider their relocation strategies, carefully evaluating the costs and benefits of maintaining or moving production to different geographical areas. The situation remains evolving, with a potentially significant impact on the global economy. ## General Context Global supply chains have become increasingly complex and interconnected in recent decades. Geopolitical events, pandemics, and changes in trade policies can significantly impact their stability and efficiency. Companies are constantly seeking to optimize their supply chains to reduce costs, improve delivery times, and mitigate risks. Geographical diversification is a common strategy to reduce dependence on a single country or region.
