The geopolitical situation in the Middle East has worsened significantly in recent weeks. The conflict surrounding Iran is already having a noticeable impact on the entire Gulf region – economically, politically and in terms of security policy. <\/p>

At the center of this development is one of the world’s most important trade routes: the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>

This narrow passage between Iran and Oman transports a significant proportion of the world’s energy supply. Around 20% of the global oil trade and large quantities of liquid gas pass through this route every day. <\/p>

Even minor military tensions can therefore have a considerable economic impact:<\/p>

– Rising oil and gas prices<\/p>

– Higher transport and insurance premiums<\/p>

– Uncertainty in international trade<\/p>

– Possible disruptions in global air traffic<\/p>

The Strait of Hormuz is therefore a key artery for the global economy.<\/p>

But geopolitical crises not only change energy prices and trade routes – they also change global capital flows.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
