For Libya, the Hormuz crisis can be a trap or an opportunity

The global energy crisis triggered by the Iran war is increasing European interest in Libya’s oil and gas. Yet political fragmentation, weak infrastructure, heavy subsidies and domestic power shortages constrain the country’s prospects. Expanding exports alone could deepen Libya’s long-standing resource curse, so the revenues should fund energy-system reform and renewable power.

Iran war squeezes Iraq’s economy as oil revenues fall and prices rise

Disrupted oil exports, costlier imports and a weaker dinar are exposing Iraq’s dependence on oil and foreign goods. Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi says the war has cost Iraq about $60bn in oil revenue after around 90 percent of exports were temporarily blocked through usual Gulf routes. Shipping disruption has also delayed supplies, raised transport costs and pushed imported-goods prices up by 25 to 30 percent.
