The future of Thailand’s economy and energy amid Middle East conflicts and new world order

All proceedings will be held in Thai.

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical transit point for one-fifth of the world’s crude oil, has sparked global fears of an energy crisis. Thailand is particularly vulnerable, as it relies on the Middle East for nearly 63% of its oil imports. Furthermore, with Qatar recently suspending LNG shipments due to safety concerns, Thailand faces a significant threat to its electricity production, as Qatar supplies over 21% of the country’s total LNG.

To address these risks, the energy platform JustPow is hosting a panel discussion titled ‘The Future of Thailand’s Economy and Energy Amidst Middle East Conflicts and the New World Order.’ The event will bring together leading economists and energy experts to analyze the impact of rising costs and develop policy recommendations to safeguard Thailand’s economic stability against these global disruptions.

This insightful session will take place on March 12, 2026, from 1pm to 3pm at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand.
