Ethiopia

Ethiopia faces critical energy security challenges, with 100% oil import dependency and severely limited reserves of just 18 days. The country is already experiencing acute fuel shortages, exacerbated by a foreign exchange crisis that severely restricts its ability to purchase expensive global oil. Food security is also critical, with fertilizer costs surging by 82%, indicating widespread economic distress. The outlook for Ethiopia is dire, with sustained fuel scarcity and deepening economic hardship expected in the coming weeks, potentially leading to social unrest.
