2. BUSINESSES FIGHT TO RIDE OUT PANDEMIC

共克时艰，临港企业坚持生产

Factories in Shanghai are struggling to keep their assembly lines running while online companies are also trying to stay afloat【维持生计】as rolling lockdowns make it difficult to know how many employees can make it to work on a daily basis. Sun Siqi takes a look at their strategies to stay alive.

在疫情防控的隔离措施下，上海许多工厂正努力维持企业内生产线的流转，而在线新经济企业也正努力维持着生计。更多消息，请听孙思奇带来的报道。

Out in suburban Lingang, SAS's two assembly lines are running at full capacity. Production is based on orders.

赛亚森公司是一家实行订单式生产的企业，位于临港产业区内。这家企业2条产线，40个工位，全都开足马力。

“Here's one of the orders. You can see there are only 90 minutes from the time we receive the order to when we have to deliver the products. If our assembly line slows down for any reason, be it supplies, workforce or breakdowns, the contract breach risk rises.”

这就是我们客户（发过来）的订单，从接收到客户订单到产品交付，其中只有90分钟的时间。如果我们产线因为物料问题、人的问题、设备问题导致任何一分钟停线，都会增加产品交付风险。

With orders for 40,000 parts a month, the company has adjusted its stocking strategy. Accommodation for workers has also become paramount【重要的】to keep the assembly lines running.

为了完成每月4万套产品的生产，企业一方面加强供应链风险评估，增加库存，确保生产物料不断档；另一方面，对人员管理也做了细致的考量。

The company is expected to generate about 40 million yuan in sales this year.

3. U.S. FED READY TO MOVE FASTER ON INFLATION

美联储：如有必要，或更激进加息应对通胀

The US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said Monday (March 21) that, the Fed is prepared to raise its benchmark short-term interest rate faster than expected to contain inflation. The speech came less than a week after the Fed raised the interest rate by a quarter-point in an attempt to battle inflation that is running at its highest level in 40 years.

在美国联邦储备委员会宣布加息25个基点利率来对抗40年来最高的通胀后不过一周，美联储主席鲍威尔就昨日（3月21号）表示，目前美国通胀过高，上升幅度比普遍预期更大、持续时间更长。美联储或在必要时采取更激进的行动，一次性加息25个以上基点，以恢复价格稳定。

Powell attributed much of the inflation pressures to the Covid-19 pandemic. He said interest rate hikes would continue until inflation is under control, and central bankers would be open to raising rates by a comparatively aggressive half-point at multiple Fed meetings. He also added that policymakers could go so far as to send rates into "restrictive" territory that would slow economic growth and possibly raise the unemployment rate if needed to tame high inflation.

鲍威尔将大部分通胀压力归因于新冠肺炎疫情的大流行。他表示，美联储将继续加息，直到通胀得到控制。美联储委员也在多次相关会议上对加息持开放态度。同时，他还补充道，政策制定者甚至可以将利率推向“限制性”区域。这将减缓经济增长，并可能在需要抑制高通胀时导致失业率的攀升。
