The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization has warned that closure or sustained disruption of the Strait of Hormuz will spark a systemic global food crisis, with prices rising sharply within 6–12 months. The FAO reports its Food Price Index has already risen for three consecutive months due to high energy costs and Middle East conflict disruptions, and forecasts a cascading chain of impacts: energy shortages → fertilizer scarcity → lower yields → commodity inflation → widespread food insecurity, potentially affecting millions. The agency called for alternative trade corridors, relaxed export restrictions, and increased domestic resilience measures to mitigate the crisis.

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.

Supply ChainCrisis🇦🇪United Arab Emirates5d ago

# Food Security: The UAE's Strategic Model for the Next Century In a country that imports more than 90% of its food, food security in the Emirates transcends its agricultural scope to become a long-term sovereign project: How does a state with limited water and arable land ensure that food remains available, safe, and stable in price, even during wars, maritime blockades, energy crises, and supply chain disruptions? The Emirati answer did not rely on a single bet, but on an integrated network: smart domestic agriculture, strategic reserves, global investments in land and commodities, ports and logistics, emergency legislation, and partnerships with the private sector. Therefore, the claim that the Emirates has secured its food for the next 100 years is not literal—it does not mean the UAE stores enough food for an entire century—but rather that it has built a model that reduces its vulnerability to the future.

# 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.

On flights across New Zealand these days, it feels like every passenger for themselves. I was desperate for just one person to catch my eye. After the flight from Wellington landed in Christchurch and dozens of passengers immediately jumped out of their seats as if they were sitting on thumbtacks, it became abundantly clear that the tradition of disembarking using the Sacred Order of the Airplane Rows had been replaced with something much more sinister.

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.

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.

Colombia's currency weakened sharply Tuesday as the US dollar climbed to $3,819.99, its highest point in 2026, after Standard & Poor's downgraded the country's sovereign rating from BB to BB-. The peso's deterioration reflects mounting concerns over public finance deterioration, proximity of presidential elections, and global risk aversion stemming from Middle East tensions, though carry-trade strategies tied to high local interest rates have provided some temporary support.
