The energy crisis versus the rise of AI: why emerging economies are holding their own

from Macro Waves · host BNP Paribas Economic Research

This latest issue of MacroWaves is devoted to the repercussions of the energy shock and the rise of AI in emerging economies. The spring of 2026 saw by mounting risks: war in Iran, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and soaring energy prices. Yet, against all expectations, emerging economies withstood the shock remarkably well.Lucas Plé and Hélène Drouot, both economists in the Emerging Economies team, help us understand this resilience. Why did the energy crisis not cause the economy to derail? Can the rise of artificial intelligence offset the negative impact of rising energy prices? What are the identified risks of this increased dependence on technology?https://economic-research.bnpparibas.com/Home/en-USEcoPerspectives - Emerging Economies | 3rd quarter of 2026, as of July 13, 2026– Economic Research – BNP ParibasHosted on Ausha.
