East Asia LNG import costs seen below Europe's in 2026, Attaqa says

[Attaqa] East Asian countries are expected to bear lower costs than their European counterparts for importing liquefied natural gas in 2026, according to a recent report reviewed by the energy research unit. The report attributed the gap to the reliance structure of the countries concerned. The Iran war has revived debate over long-term LNG contracts and their cross-regional pricing terms, with importing countries in Europe and Asia bearing uneven costs amid higher prices.
