In an effort to cushion domestic consumers from the effects of the global energy crisis, the Japanese Prime Minister put forward a JPY 6.2 trillion direct government spending package at the end of April 2022, financed by a JPY 2.7 trillion FY2022 supplementary budget, as well as government reserve funds.

It includes:

-transport fuel (eg gasoline, diesel, heavy oil all aviation fuels, and a special subsidy to taxi companies), through a subsidy scheme targeting oil refining companies;

-subsidies to help SMEs face the rise in energy and other raw material price;

-subsidies for low income & vulnerable households and subsidies for low-income families (JPY 50,000 /child);

-transfers to subnational authorities in the form of Extraordinary Regional Revitalization Grants local governments would redistribute to households and businesses being hit by soaring electricity and gas prices;

- Partial gas and electricity price caps.

The subsidies for gasoline, electricity and gas were extended in November 2023. On June 21, 2024, the Prime Minister announced the extension of subsidies for fuel prices until the end of 2024, as well as the reintroduction of subsidies for electricity and gas prices from August to October. The subsidies are being phase down since January 2025.

Gone are most of the cushions the market had in the early weeks and months of the Middle East conflict. The oversupply from early this year has disappeared as oil on water was drawn down quickly when the Strait of Hormuz was closed to tanker traffic in March. Record stock releases led by the International Energy Agency (IEA) depleted strategic inventories in developed economies, including in…

A Pakistani cement giant has cut its power costs by up to 40% with solar at its production sites, and rooftop solar capacity in the Philippines has nearly doubled in a year. At the same time, Africa is on pace to install record gigawatts, and Australia has installed…

Hormuz Risk Opens $40-Plus Price Gap Between Crude Grades

Back in late June, after the United States and Iran agreed to cease hostilities in the Persian Gulf for 60 days, oil prices took a dive. Two months later, Brent is trading at over $107 per barrel, and WTI is moving closer to $103, as a deep chasm opens up between the price for oil stuck in the Gulf and oil that can be moved with no threat of a drone or missile attack. Iraq, OPEC’s number-two producer, has suffered some of the most severe disruptions in its oil industry because of the war between the U.S. and Israel, and Iran. The country…
