Key Trade Route Strait Of Hormuz Under Market Watch After Israeli Attacks On Iran
LONDON, June 13 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- Global markets are closely monitoring the Strait of Hormuz, a vital corridor for oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG), amid fears that a widening conflict between Israel and Iran could disrupt traffic through the narrow waterway. The Strait of Hormuz, positioned in between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, is a narrow but critical sea route that approximately one-third of global oil trade, accounting for 17 million to 20 million barrels of crude oil and condensate passes through daily, according to Anadolu Ajansi. Around 70 per cent of oil volume goes to Asia via this route, with China, Japan, India, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Pakistan, and the Philippines among the largest recipients, according to the International Energy Agency. bootstrap slideshow The route is also essential for LNG exports, especially from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, which account for 20 per cent of global LNG trade. Europe is a key destination for LNG that transits through Hormuz. While Iran has previously threatened to close the strait in response to geopolitical tensions, it has yet to act on such threats. However, the prospect of a broader regional conflict following Israel's airstrikes on Iran has renewed concerns over possible supply disruptions and rising energy prices. The UK Maritime Trade Organisation said on Wednesday that the rising tensions in the region could escalate the military activity in critical waterways and affect maritime transport, while the Baltic and International Maritime Council also warned that any attack could directly impact maritime transport. Some analysts say that Iran has a lot at stake should they close the route, as almost all the country's oil exports and a large portion of China's oil imports comes through the Strait of Hormuz. Anadolu reported Arne Lohmann Rasmussen, chief analyst and head of research at Global Risk Management, said that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz would be an 'absolute nightmare' for the oil market.

KL Ranks 18th In Emerging Startup Ecosystems, Historic First For Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR, June 13 (Bernama) -- Kuala Lumpur has entered the Top 20 Emerging Startup Ecosystems in a historic first for Malaysia after ranking 18th in the Global Startup Ecosystem Report (GSER) 2025 by Startup Genome. The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI), in a statement, said the milestone reflects the tangible results of Malaysia's coordinated national innovation agenda, with strategic startup ecosystem programmes and capital mobilisation efforts now showing measurable impact. It stated that the GSER, considered the world's most comprehensive analysis of startup ecosystems, evaluates over 300 cities across more than 100 countries, and highlights Kuala Lumpur's progress across performance, funding, talent development and most notably, market reach. MOSTI said Startup Genome noted that early-stage funding in Kuala Lumpur reached RM1.5 billion (US$368 million) over the past two and a half years, an increase of over 40 per cent from the previous cycle - a clear indicator of rising investor confidence and ecosystem momentum. The ministry said the country's growing global recognition in innovation is driven by its maturing ecosystem, guided by the long-term Ekonomi MADANI policy. Central to this progress are two key national strategies - the Malaysia Startup Ecosystem Roadmap (SUPER), launched in 2021, and the KL20 Action Plan, introduced in April 2024. According to Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Chang Lih Kang, the progress reflects years of deliberate policy design and institution-building under SUPER, which laid the foundational infrastructure for growth across capital formation, talent development and regulatory frameworks. 'Kuala Lumpur's entry into the Top 20 Emerging Ecosystems marks a significant leap forward from its previous placement in the 21-30 band between 2022 and 2024, underscoring the momentum achieved through policy coherence and stakeholder alignment. 'A key contributor to this rise was the marked improvement in the city's Market Reach score - jumping from two to 10, which reflects the growing ability of Malaysian startups to access international markets, scale beyond domestic borders and compete globally. 'Under MOSTI's leadership and with Cradle Fund as our focal point agency, we are collaborating closely with public and private sector partners to elevate the nation's startup ecosystem, empower founders, and position Malaysia as a destination of choice for global startups, talent and investors,' he said in the statement.
