Even if supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz persist and push oil prices close to US$100 per barrel, the global economy is better positioned than in the past to absorb the shock, as households and businesses have strengthened their resilience, thereby raising the threshold for a global recession, Citi Research issued a research report saying.

The global economy has previously experienced prolonged periods of high oil prices without falling into recession, the report added. Under the broker's baseline forecast, the global economy can withstand an oil price shock of around US$100 per barrel, with economic growth slowing but staying positive.
