The war in the Middle East that began on February 28 with attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran has, obviously, had an economic impact. After four months, and with the agreement between the United States and Iran, it is difficult to quantify the total cost of the war in economic terms. But what is clear is that the impact has fallen directly on citizens' pockets and has weakened economic growth in many areas of the world, especially in Asia-Pacific, with greater dependence on Gulf oil.

The reduction in VAT on fuel has slowed the price increases, but fuels are still more expensive than before the start of the war in Iran. Furthermore, the fuel currently being sold at gas stations was purchased a few days ago and therefore does not yet reflect the reduction in the special tax on hydrocarbons.
