Against a backdrop of renewed conflict in the Middle East, markets are again grappling with energy security risks. Iran remains in control of the Strait of Hormuz, and Europe, despite the lessons of 2022, still imports around 70% of its gas. This raises a pressing question: how exposed is Europe if this crisis continues, and what can realistically be done about it?

Join ING’s experts as they discuss:

  • Europe's current level of dependence on imported gas
  • The short‑term levers to ease supply risks
  • Why longer‑term solutions – from renewables to nuclear – are harder than they look
  • What business leaders should prioritise now

Speakers

Gerben Hieminga, Senior Sector Economist, Energy

Nadège Tillier, Head of Corporate Sector Strategy

Hosted by Rebecca Byrne, Deputy Global Head of Editorial
