# Diesel Crunch Intensifies: Global Shortages Threaten Energy Security

> The IEA expects diesel supply constraints and unusually low inventories to persist into 2027, with inventories not likely to recover to more comfortable levels until the second half of the year. Conflict-related damage and attacks have disrupted refining capacity and diesel exports from Russia and the Middle East, while Egypt imports about 40% of its diesel consumption.

## Why it matters

Reduced refining output and export availability tighten diesel supply and keep prices and refining margins elevated, raising freight and farm operating costs. Egypt’s reliance on imports makes it particularly exposed to continued disruptions and price spikes.
