إغلاق مضيقَي هرمز وباب المندب.. احتمالات وتداعيات

Amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the region, concerns are growing about the potential closure of the Straits of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb, vital arteries for global energy flows and trade. The Strait of Hormuz alone sees approximately 20% of the world's liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade, while Bab el-Mandeb forms a strategic link between Asia and Europe via the Red Sea, handling roughly 9% of the world's seaborne oil trade and over 21,000 vessels annually. The Bab el-Mandeb Strait is particularly important as a key route for Gulf exports to European markets, and the Red Sea-Bab el-Mandeb corridor used to handle about 30% of global container trade, according to the World Bank. How would any disruption or closure of these two maritime chokepoints affect oil and gas markets, global supply chains, shipping costs, and global economic growth? What alternatives are available to countries and companies to mitigate the repercussions of such a scenario? Follow the latest news on our website: https://www.cnbcarabia.com/
