Nicaragua

Nicaragua's energy security is highly precarious, relying entirely on imported oil, with gasoline at $1.22/L and a mere 20 days of reserves. The country's economic vulnerability is compounded by international sanctions, which are severely limiting its access to crucial international finance needed to mitigate the crisis. A moderate food risk is exacerbated by a 60% rise in fertilizer prices, threatening agricultural production and food security. The coming weeks are expected to see continued economic hardship and potential fuel shortages, with limited avenues for relief given the existing sanctions.
