Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is in a critical state, compounding existing economic fragility with the severe impacts of the global energy crisis. Its 100% oil import dependency means the nation is acutely exposed, with gasoline prices soaring to $1.48/L and dangerously low reserves of only 12 days. This is exacerbating high food risk and an alarming 82% increase in fertilizer costs, pushing the country towards a humanitarian crisis. Without significant external intervention or a rapid de-escalation of global oil prices, the outlook for Zimbabwe in the coming weeks is dire, with severe economic contraction and potential social instability.
