The Frontline Impact

How this affects you

The global economy will not see immediate relief from high oil prices and inflation despite a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, as logistical and operational challenges will delay the full restoration of oil flows and supply chains, with an estimated return to 80% of pre-war levels by September.
