Summary
- Economist El-Erian stresses sustained confidence-building for Hormuz.

Economist Mohamed El-Erian has called for sustained confidence-building measures to genuinely revive shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. These actions are deemed essential by El-Erian for a lasting impact on maritime traffic.
Responding to statements from Iran about the Strait of Hormuz reopening, El-Erian expressed caution regarding its true significance. He highlighted that the actual success of this reopening depends critically on its durability.
