  • Fixing the oil crisis might not fix the Persian Gulf

    Fixing the oil crisis might not fix the Persian Gulf
    Apr 16 2026
    If the Strait of Hormuz completely reopens, it still might not be enough to restart the economies in the Persian Gulf. Many countries there have been hammered by the oil crisis. And although allowing ships through would stanch the immediate bloodletting in the energy sector, other sectors might not spring back so quickly. Tourists are visiting less. Property markets are at risk.

    On today’s show, we survey the economic damage to countries in the Gulf. And try to get a sense of the long-term economic implications.

    Think the oil shock is bad in the US? Look here
    Apr 15 2026
    Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is pretty slow right now. A once steady stream of global oil has been severed, and oil prices have shot into the stratosphere. Countries across the world are trying to stop the bleeding. One is counting down the days until it runs out of oil. Another is … just fine.

    On today’s show, we take stock of how three countries, New Zealand, Zimbabwe, and China, are navigating the oil crisis.
