Energy security becomes top investment priority

Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and other Gulf producers are accelerating investments in alternative export routes to reduce dependence on the Strait of Hormuz.

Industry experts say new pipelines, logistics corridors, and port infrastructure projects are being prioritized after recent disruptions highlighted vulnerabilities in regional trade networks. Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea export routes and the UAE’s Fujairah infrastructure are expected to play larger roles in future energy exports.
