Downstream oil in brief: coronavirus, a test of ingenuity for fuel retailers?
Report summary
The coronavirus pandemic led to lockdowns in European countries to stop the spread of the disease. As people's movement is restricted all over the continent, fuel retailers are struggling to survive in an extremely challenging environment. While certain companies are closing some of their outlets, others are fighting by diversifying their portfolio. Although many retailers may need to cease their operations during the crisis, those who were able to adapt quickly can become even stronger.
