Asia’s Fuel Runway — Who is Safe & Who is Threatened?
1️⃣ The energy situation in Asia is starting to enter a vulnerable zone.
Not because oil is running out… but because reserve time is getting shorter.
This is an illustration of the fuel reserves of several countries:
2️⃣ 🇯🇵 Japan
Reserves: 354 days
Status: Crisis mode
Japan has one of the largest strategic petroleum reserves in the world, so it is still relatively safe.
3️⃣ 🇰🇷 South Korea
Reserves: 208 days
Status: Price control
The government is holding back price increases to prevent inflation from exploding.
4️⃣ 🇨🇳 China
Reserves: 200 days
Status: Stockpiling
China continues to buy oil to strengthen its strategic energy reserves.
5️⃣ 🇮🇳 India
Reserves: 42 days
Status: Fiscal shock
Every $1 increase in oil prices = an additional burden of about $2 billion for the Indian economy.
6️⃣ 🇮🇩 Indonesia
Reserves: ±20 days
Status: Subsidy pressure
If global oil prices continue to rise, the state budget could become increasingly burdened by fuel subsidies.
7️⃣ 🇻🇳 Vietnam
Reserves: ±15 days
Status: 🚨 Emergency
One of the shortest energy runways in Asia currently.
8️⃣ Conclusion:
Asia is not running out of oil.
Asia is running out of time to secure supplies.
If global conflicts escalate or routes like the Strait of Hormuz are disrupted…
The effects could be felt directly on fuel prices, inflation, and the purchasing power of the people.
