flag Fuel-importing nations face worsening economic risks due to slow energy transition and high oil prices, threatening their financial stability by 2035.

flag Atradius warns that rising economic risks face fuel-importing nations due to a slower-than-expected global energy transition, keeping oil and gas demand and prices high. flag Geopolitical tensions, especially in the Middle East, are driving continued price volatility, with 63 countries—many emerging markets—spending over 4% of GDP on fuel imports. flag Despite some energy efficiency gains, progress in renewables and electrification remains too slow to reduce dependence, threatening worsening current-account balances by 2035 for over half of these nations, particularly Tunisia, Pakistan, and Lebanon. flag The firm urges urgent action, including boosting domestic renewables, expanding exports, improving competitiveness, and cutting non-energy imports to build resilience.
