More than 700 vessels were delayed or waiting outside the corridor, maritime insurance costs surged, and major global shipping companies suspended transit through the area. This combination pushed Brent crude from around USD 80 per barrel to a peak of USD 126 per barrel, reflecting the market\u2019s concern over potential disruptions to one of the world\u2019s most critical energy supply routes.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card\">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-2-530a2ed\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-13a049f6aaee61124a72\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" role=\"button\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-13a049f6aaee61124a72\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-13a049f6aaee61124a72\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">How does an increase in oil prices affect inflation?<\/span>\n\n                            \n                                <div class=\"ekit_accordion_icon_group\">\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_normal_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-down-arrow1\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_active_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Active Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-up-arrow\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                            \n                                                    <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div id=\"Collapse-13a049f6aaee61124a72\" class=\"collapse\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"primaryHeading-2-530a2ed\" data-parent=\"#accordion-6aaee61124a72\">\n\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-card-body ekit-accordion--content\">\n                            <p>A 10% increase in crude oil prices can raise inflation by approximately 0.1 to 0.2 percentage points in advanced economies in the short term.

However, it is also negatively affected because it relies on imports of refined fuels\u2014including diesel, gasoline and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)\u2014to supply its domestic market, and the cost of those imports rises as well.\n\nIn a context where fuel subsidies remain in place, the additional pressure on public finances can offset\u2014or even exceed\u2014the gains generated by higher crude oil export revenues.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card\">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-4-530a2ed\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-b99e16b6aaee61124a72\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" role=\"button\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-b99e16b6aaee61124a72\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-b99e16b6aaee61124a72\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">What should Ecuador do to reduce its vulnerability to global energy shocks?<\/span>\n\n                            \n                                <div class=\"ekit_accordion_icon_group\">\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_normal_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-down-arrow1\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_active_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Active Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-up-arrow\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                            \n                                                    <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div id=\"Collapse-b99e16b6aaee61124a72\" class=\"collapse\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"primaryHeading-4-530a2ed\" data-parent=\"#accordion-6aaee61124a72\">\n\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-card-body ekit-accordion--content\">\n                            <p>Ecuador can reduce its vulnerability by decreasing its dependence on imported refined fuels through investment in domestic refining capacity, diversification of the energy matrix and the creation of stabilization mechanisms that help cushion the fiscal impact of energy price volatility.
