The crisis of 2022 was little more than a bump in the road in comparison to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and yet the price impacts have been much more muted.

If these solutions fail to keep pace with the problem, we expect that the ultimate impact could be much more expensive indeed.

The macro backdrop entering 2026E remains broadly supportive for high-dividend strategies across Emerging Europe and the frontier markets, but the opportunity set has clearly narrowed. After a year of sharp repricing across the WOOD universe, the high dividend conditions of 2024-25 have largely disappeared, as a result of many sectors rerating materially.
