Canadian businesses have been experiencing supply chain challenges since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 and exacerbated by the 2022 conflict in Ukraine. While these challenges have been significant, they have been abating throughout 2022. The proportion of businesses experiencing worsening supply chain conditions declined over the year, shining a spotlight on the strength, resilience, and optimism of Canadian supply chains. Nonetheless, the status of supply chains and the impact they have on the economy remain of great interest.
