Asya humarap sa lumalangang epekto ng energy crisis dahil sa Iran war

Mga pamahalaan sa Asya, pinakamalaking importer ng langis, ay nagmamadali para sa alternatibong supply upang protektahan ang ekonomiya mula sa energy crisis na dulot ng Iran war. Ang Asian Development Bank ay nagbaba ng growth forecast para sa developing Asia sa 4.7% ngayong taon. Oil imports sa rehiyon ay bumagsak ng 30% sa Abril.

Ang energy crisis, na nagsimula noong huling bahagi ng Pebrero dahil sa Iran war, ay nagdulot ng malapit na pagsara ng Strait of Hormuz, na nagdadala ng isang limang bahagi ng global oil at gas supplies. Ayon sa Kpler data, oil imports sa Asya—na tumatanggap ng 85% ng Gulf crude—ay bumagsak ng 30% sa Abril, pinakamababa mula Oktubre 2015.

Ang Asian Development Bank ay nagbaba ng growth forecast sa 4.7% ngayong taon at 4.8% sa 2027, mula 5.1% pareho dati, at nagtaas ng inflation outlook sa 5.2%. Mga pamahalaan, lalo na sa South Asia, ay gumagastos ng bilyunes sa subsidies at duty waivers. “The first line of defense … is that the governments decided to absorb the initial shock by either providing subsidies or cutting excise duties on fuel products,” sinabi ni Hanna Luchnikava-Schorsch ng S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Emerging market currencies tulad ng Philippine peso, Indian rupee, at Indonesian rupiah ay tumama ng record lows laban sa dollar. Ang peso ay bumagsak ng higit 5% mula simula ng war. China ay naging pinakamataas na performer sa yuan, na tumaas ng 0.8%, habang Japan ay nag-intervene para sa yen.

South Asian economies tulad ng Pakistan, Bangladesh, at Sri Lanka ang pinaka-vulnerable, ayon sa S&P. Pakistan ay nag-issue ng LNG tenders sa $18.88 per million British thermal unit, mas mataas kaysa pre-war prices. Japan nagsimula ng release ng 36 million barrels mula stockpiles noong May 1.

US blockades Strait of Hormuz amid Iran crisis, oil tops $100 ahead of midterms

Iniulat ng AI Larawang ginawa ng AI

Three weeks after Iran's Strait of Hormuz blockade began, oil prices surged another 8% above $100 a barrel as US-Iran peace talks collapsed and the US Navy imposed its own blockade to curb Iranian exports. The escalation heightens global supply fears, with President Trump warning of sustained high fuel prices through November's midterm elections.

What began as escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz in mid-March 2026 has evolved into a full-scale war between the United States, Israel, and Iran, with the strait blockaded since early March. This vital chokepoint for 20% of global oil and natural gas shipments has ignited the most severe energy crisis in modern history, causing critical fuel shortages in 25 countries.

Rising fuel prices from the ongoing conflict in Iran are prompting households and industries worldwide to reduce oil consumption, with experts suggesting some changes may endure. The International Energy Agency has noted demand destruction, forecasting a drop of 420,000 barrels per day this year. Asia, hit hardest by supply disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz, is accelerating shifts toward renewables and electric technologies.
