• The U.S. military presence in the Indian Ocean and along the maritime Silk Route is described as an "occupation" linked to its ongoing conflict with Iran. • This geopolitical tension has disrupted oil and gas supplies, causing energy costs to soar for emerging economies across South and Southeast Asia. • The situation has led to a decline in local currencies against the U.S. dollar and a significant increase in both public and private debt.
