Asia's 'strategic' strides in crude oil storage
Report summary
Asia imports 70% of its crude oil needs, making the region vulnerable to supply disruptions that impact economic activities. Hence, governments have gotten serious in building strategic reserves: China and India have made rapid strides, while South-East Asia is actively planning. Oil stockpiling in Asia provides a source of crude oil purchasing on top of import requirements to meet the region's growing oil demand. Intermittently, stock building purchases will provide support to oil prices.
