Energy Shortages Hit Bangladesh and Pakistan Amid Gulf Crisis Disruptions
Bangladesh and Pakistan are experiencing energy shortages amid a worsening Gulf crisis that has disrupted oil and gas exports through key chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea. Bangladesh faces intermittent gas supply and frequent power outages affecting households and industries, while Pakistan has introduced a fuel subsidy to ease rising prices, though registration challenges persist. The crisis has driven Asian liquefied natural gas prices sharply higher, impacting countries with limited financial capacity to respond.
