Abstract
<jats:p>This study examines the impact of the Bab al-Mandeb Strait crisis on the European economy, focusing on two key dependent variables: inflation and the Euro Stoxx 50 index. By examining these variables, this research seeks to elucidate the broader economic ramifications of geopolitical instability in maritime chokepoints. Given the integral role of the Bab al-Mandab Strait in global trade, disruptions here could precipitate significant economic consequences for Europe, a major hub of global commerce and industry. The findings of this study are expected to provide valuable insights into the interplay between maritime security and economic stability, informing policy decisions and strategic responses to future crises. In a global economy increasingly susceptible to regional conflicts, understanding the economic impact of such disruptions is paramount for fostering resilience and ensuring sustained economic growth.</jats:p>
