Qatar’s deputy prime minister and minister of state for defense affairs warned
at a Doha global security forum that the economic knock-on from Gulf energy
supply disruptions “has not yet reached its peak,” and cautioned of further
spillovers “in the coming days and months.” He flagged risks to east‑west global
supply chains, potential spillover effects on Gulf investments in Europe and the
US, and possible impacts on Gulf countries’ fiscal assistance to other states.
