A new IMF Global Policy Tracker has recorded nearly 900 policy measures across about 170 countries responding to the energy shock from the war in the Middle East.

Meanwhile, pricing measures that compress margins in state-owned energy companies can generate losses that later surface as contingent liabilities on public balance sheets.
