Tanzania
Tanzania faces high energy security risk due to its 100% reliance on imported petroleum, with current gasoline prices at $1.22/L and only 20 days of reserves. The port of Dar es Salaam, crucial for fuel imports, is experiencing significant supply chain pressure, exacerbating domestic fuel availability. While its Hormuz exposure is low, the global supply crunch of 17 mb/d is severely impacting costs and logistics. The outlook for the coming weeks suggests continued elevated fuel prices and potential shortages, with economic stability increasingly strained by these pressures.
