Abstract:Volkswagen does not expect the global shortage of semiconductors to end this year although it should further ease slightly in the second half, a board member was quoted as saying by industry magazine Automobilwoche.
“The volatile situation will affect us at least beyond the first half of this year,” Murat Aksel, the head of procurement on the Volkswagen board said in an interview with Automobilwoche.
Carmakers around the world have been hit by a shortage of semiconductors caused by COVID-19 supply-chain disruptions as well as soaring semiconductor demand at consumer electronic companies.
Aksel said there were clearly structural issues at play, with demand set to continue to rise in the car making industry.
As such, instead of looking at claiming damages from suppliers behind on chip deliveries, the focus was on working closely with them to ensure better availability, he said.
It should become easier to make reliable predictions in 2023, when more semiconductor production capacity comes online, he said.

CM Trading is a South Africa-based online broker operating for 10 years, providing trading on Forex, Commodities, Indices, Stocks, and some Cryptos. Among many forex broker options in South Africa, CM Trading struggles to be the popular one due to its high costs for live accounts and wide spreads. Instead, it is considered an expensive broking. To open a live account, traders need to fund at least $299, less friendly to beginners. However, CM Trading compensates for this by offering large amounts of bonuses up to $150,000. Notably, CM Trading does not provide any popular copy trading solutions.

FBS's copy trading solution—FBS Copytrade, while once available, isn't as user-friendly or prominently featured as those offered by competitors, closed in 2022, restricting beginners' access to simpler trading approaches.
