APAC Energy Buzz: Oil price crash - Where does Asia go from here?
Report summary
Coronavirus is already the most severe shock to hit the global economy since the financial crisis over a decade ago. Oil demand has gone into a tailspin as containment and fear rule the market. The response from the OPEC+ group is a price war between its two largest producers, pushing oil prices over a cliff. Energy companies across Asia Pacific are now grappling with how to respond to the scale of lost demand and the near-total uncertainty of how long and how severe the future effects will be. The dramatic re-setting of energy prices in the wake of the oil price crash now makes action imperative.
