To borrow the words of Christof Ruehl, Group Chief Economist and Vice President of BP, this time around the multinational oil supermajor aimed to “shake-up the crystal ball” by recalibrating some of its old formulas in the bid to provide a fresh outlook on the way global energy markets will evolve. In this post Casing Point explores to what results this recalibration ...
... by OPEC and now Russia cannot be easily spend by the actual producers, as their economies are not well developed to use the vast inflows of liquidity without inflationary repercussions. As a result, this huge liquidity is invested back into the large developed economies that also tend to be the actual consumers of oil.
