> Europe imported about 9.1 billion cubic meters of LNG in August, among its lowest August volumes in five years, according to TASS calculations based on GIE data. Intense competition with Asia amid the Middle East crisis contributed to weaker flows, which were down 2.8% year-on-year in January-August 2026.
