Asia accounts for the bulk of oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, with China, India, and Japan among the largest recipients. But exposure to this supply shock is far from uniform. Countries differ widely in their strategic oil reserves, their ability to cushion price spikes through policy, and how dependent they remain on imported fossil fuels versus alternative energy sources.

Join ING's experts as they explain:

  • Why some countries are better placed to manage the disruption than others
  • How differences in the energy mix and import dependence shape vulnerability
  • What this divergence means for growth, inflation and policy choices across Asia

Speakers

Deepali Bhargava, Regional Head of Research, Asia-Pacific

Lynn Song, Chief Economist, Greater China

Min Joo Kang, Senior Economist, South Korea, Japan

Hosted by ING Editor William Pesek
