Malawi

Malawi faces a critical energy security situation, with 100% oil import dependency and severe fuel shortages paralyzing its economy. As a landlocked nation, disruptions to regional supply chains exacerbate its vulnerability, despite low direct Hormuz exposure. With only 12 days of gasoline reserves and prices at $1.38/L, the country is experiencing widespread economic paralysis. The outlook for the coming weeks is dire, with critical food risk and a 72% increase in fertilizer costs threatening agricultural stability and exacerbating humanitarian concerns.
