The United Nations has confirmed that reopening the Strait of Hormuz is an important step in restoring global trade and energy flows. However, the economic repercussions of navigation disruptions that lasted for more than 100 days will persist, especially for developing and more fragile economies, which are facing inflationary and food pressures that could last for several months. The report also noted the rise in oil and fertilizer prices and the impact of these increases on inflation, food costs, and healthcare expenses. It mentioned that shipping traffic had decreased from around 125 ships per day before the crisis to 20-25 during the disruptions, followed by a recovery after the strait was reopened. Additionally, 61 economies, particularly developing countries, remain threatened by the repercussions of rising energy and food prices due to their heavy reliance on imports.
