The Implications of the Hormuz Energy Crisis on South Asia

The Hormuz energy crisis has been challenging energy security across Asia by curtailing Middle Eastern oil and gas supplies while driving up the cost of alternatives. In response, governments throughout the region have adopted a range of measures to strengthen energy security. 

As the crisis enters its sixth month, this webinar series examines its long-term implications for energy policy across Asia's major subregions. 

The third edition of this CSIS series will focus on South Asia, whose four major economies, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, are deeply reliant on hydrocarbon imports transiting the Strait of Hormuz. This virtual, public roundtable brings together leading energy policy experts from the region to examine how the crisis is reshaping the region's energy priorities. 

The discussion will assess how the crisis will affect South Asia's ongoing energy transitions and entrenched dependence on coal and hydrocarbons, and whether it is forcing policymakers to rethink both short- and long-term energy realities for the region.

This event is made possible by general funding to CSIS and the CSIS Energy Security and Climate Change Program.
