Cook Islands

The Cook Islands are at a critical energy security risk, being 100% dependent on oil imports with no domestic production and no Hormuz exposure. Fuel prices are extremely high at $1.65/L, and critically low reserves of just 12 days leave the nation highly susceptible to any further supply interruptions. The remote Pacific location exacerbates logistical challenges, driving up costs for all imported goods, including essential food items, which are at moderate risk. Without significant external support or alternative energy solutions, the outlook for maintaining stable fuel supplies and mitigating economic strain in the coming weeks is very poor.
