Saint Lucia

Saint Lucia faces high energy security risks, stemming from its complete reliance on oil imports and a highly vulnerable tourism-dependent economy. Gasoline prices are elevated at $1.45/L, and critically, the island possesses only 18 days of gasoline reserves, making it highly susceptible to supply interruptions. Moderate food risk and a sharp 58% increase in fertilizer costs further exacerbate economic pressures. The outlook is precarious, with urgent need for robust contingency planning to secure fuel supplies and mitigate the severe impact on its vital tourism sector in the coming weeks.
