The War in Ukraine and Its Impact on Energy in the Middle East

On April 19, PRIO hosted on how the worldwide energy crisis, triggered by the war in Ukraine, has major repercussions in the Middle East. The energy shock poses challenges to those wealthy countries that are pursuing a shift away from their dependence on oil and gas resources, as well as to those struggling economies that rely on energy imports. For the region's energy exporters, the crisis - at least temporarily - brings large economic gains and political leverage.
