Production and transport costs rise, especially in sectors such as manufacturing, transport and construction. Inflation rises, reducing demand for products. This in turn affects investment, consumer confidence and economic growth. For companies, this means higher costs, lower margins and greater financial pressure. Sales declines and payment problems become more likely, increasing the risk of bankruptcies and defaults in trade chains.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Direct effect<\/h2>\n<p>This economic uncertainty also directly affects credit insurers. With the war and rising energy prices, risk perceptions in sectors such as manufacturing, logistics and energy-intensive production are becoming higher. In particular, rising prices mean that higher credit limits are also required. The war in Iran thus sets in motion a chain reaction whereby higher energy prices lead to rising costs, inflation, more business risk and hence greater demand for credit insurance.<\/p>\n<p><i>Timely preparation will help you cope with the impact and protect your financial continuity.

In particular, the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is putting pressure on oil and gas supplies, causing prices to rise sharply in a short period of time. Oil could exceed $100 per barrel in some scenarios and gas prices in Europe are rocketing. The effect is already being felt within weeks, with an average increase of around \u20ac0.20 per cubic metre of gas. Clearly, we are once again facing an energy price shock reminiscent of previous crises.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":8814,"template":"","onderwerp":[20],"class_list":["post-8810","nieuwsitem","type-nieuwsitem","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","onderwerp-algemeen-economie"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.xolv.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nieuwsitem\/8810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.xolv.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nieuwsitem"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.xolv.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/nieuwsitem"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.xolv.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.xolv.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"onderwerp","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.xolv.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/onderwerp?post=8810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
