High Risk
AI Analysis Β· Updated daily

Myanmar faces high vulnerability to the ongoing energy crisis, compounded by existing political instability. With 82% oil import dependency and moderate Hormuz exposure, the country is experiencing significant fuel price inflation, with gasoline at $0.88/L and only 22 days of reserves. The 72% increase in fertilizer costs threatens agricultural output, exacerbating moderate food risks. Without substantial external aid or a rapid resolution to global supply disruptions, Myanmar's energy and economic situation is expected to deteriorate further in the coming weeks.
