Samoa

Samoa faces significant energy security challenges with a high-risk rating, stemming from its complete reliance on imported oil, though it lacks direct Hormuz exposure. Gasoline prices are elevated at $1.55/L, and with only 15 days of reserves, the country is highly susceptible to supply disruptions. While remittances offer some economic buffer, the moderate food risk combined with a 62% jump in fertilizer costs will strain household budgets and food availability. The outlook for Samoa in the coming weeks suggests increasing economic strain and potential for fuel rationing as global supply constraints persist.
