June 29, 2022: -One analyst alerted that the Group of 7 countries needs to brace for a total shutdown of Russian gas pipelines in the near term, which could have severe effects on Europe’s economy.
“The G-7 has to prepare for a shutdown of gas. The G-7 is dealing with a cutback on oil. Other supplies could be gotten all worldwide. Still, the gas could be shut off, which would have consequences,” Jeffrey Schott, a senior at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, told CNBC.
“Russia already has cut back on gas rushing to Germany and through Ukraine, so shutting down the pipelines is not inconceivable. Russia sells some LNG to Europe but not that much,” he said in the interview.
“The total cut-off of Russian supplies is poking gas rationing at least for the short term,” he added.
“Russian supplies would be partly offset by growing LNG imports, increased supplies from Norway and Algeria, fuel-switching to coal, and conservation measures,” he further said
Gazprom, Russia’s state-backed energy supplier, has reduced its gas flows to Europe by 60% over the previous few weeks. The move prompted Germany, Italy, Austria, and the Netherlands to indicate they could return to coal again.
His comments are coming as the heads of the G-7 wealthiest nations met in Munich, Germany, for their current summit.
As global pressure persists in piling Russia over its assault on Ukraine, Europe is facing “a very tight situation,” Schott told CNBC on Monday.
“They’re playing for time. The better the hatred against Russia, the more Putin risks and perhaps acts to cut off gas to Europe. I see that coming sooner after later,” he further said.

In an industry as competitive and fast-paced as Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), standing out from the crowd requires innovation and adaptability. The cracks in the CPG supply chain were exposed long before the global pandemic struck, but the events of the past year only exacerbated the weaknesses.
Supply chain leaders, including VPs, often find themselves making bets with unknown financial consequences. Having started with largely infeasible plans generated by deterministic “one-number” planning systems, compounded by unexpected supply or demand disruptions, they are forced into last-minute adjustments to meet operational and financial goals.
Unsurprisingly, today’s supply chain faces numerous issues, including sustainability, technology, global economic and political instability, talent management, and supply chain resilience. Advanced forecasting algorithms and predictive analytics are used in supply chain management to help organizations of all sizes make better decisions by providing insights into what’s going on in their business at any given moment and predicting future trends.
Ensuring the right products are in the right place and at the right time is critical for companies also dealing with supply chain constraints and a high degree of variability. Uncertainty has become the name of the game and the only way to effectively optimize inventory through continuous, data-driven assessments, planning, and decision-making.
Food Huggers, a consumer brand that designs products to reduce waste at home, may be in an enviable position now but before they found Extensiv Order Manager, managing booming orders and staying on top of inventory was a huge operational challenge. The business has inventory spread across multiple geographically distributed warehouses, with orders received via multiple sales channels, including Shopify storefronts and Amazon.
