EconomicCrisis🇮🇷Iran 🇨🇳China 🇵🇰Pakistan+227d ago

Iran's actions have disrupted Hormuz shipping lanes, destabilizing Gulf trade and energy markets. China's pre-built corridor infrastructure and strong industrial capacity position it to gain relative advantage, while Pakistan has begun routing transit through Iran via Chinese-built corridors—a shift that redirects regional trade away from traditional UAE ports and consolidates Beijing's influence over critical supply chains.

Oil prices fell 6% as President Trump announced US-Iran negotiations were in final stages, though Brent crude remains elevated at $104.64/barrel. Only three supertankers crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday compared to 130 daily before the conflict, leaving 6 million barrels stranded. Analysts warn global oil markets are underpricing supply disruption risk, with Brent potentially reaching $120–$200/barrel if the strait remains largely closed.

The United Arab Emirates announced its withdrawal from OPEC, signaling a major split within the cartel and diminishing Saudi Arabia's ability to coordinate production among member states. The move allows the UAE to independently manage its oil output, adding to concerns about OPEC's stability and future influence over global energy markets.

# Translation For more than a decade, governments of the world's major economies have attempted to crack down on tax havens. Since the approval of the Fatca law in the United States in 2010, through the revelations of the "Panama Papers" in 2016, to the creation of beneficial ownership registries and new information-sharing mechanisms, the narrative seemed clear: the offshore business was destined to lose relevance. However, the opposite occurred.

War in the Middle East 'reshaping' energy investment strategies globally: IEA The conflict in the Middle East is pushing governments to find new supply routes and turn to domestic resources to brave the world's biggest energy crisis, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said Thursday. "We are in the midst of the largest energy security crisis the world has ever faced... and I believe this will reshape investment strategies globally, with parallels to the major changes the energy world witnessed after the oil shocks of the 1970s," said IEA executive director Fatih Birol.

Pakistan's foreign direct investment fell 31% in the first 10 months of the fiscal year to $1.409 billion, with April recording just $54 million inflows compared to $179 million the previous year. While China contributed over half of all FDI at $740 million, this itself represents a decline from $1.04 billion in the same period last year, and notable disinvestment from sectors such as telecommunications ($477 million) has accelerated.
