Overview
This panel on Spillovers from lower oil prices to Asia adressed numerous pressing questions. Some of the topics covered including :
– The complexity of the global economy. What is at play?
– How sustainable are the current levels of oil prices. Will prices remain low for a sustained period of time? Can we consider it as the new normal?
– What are the implications of the fall of oil prices in terms of cost , demand growth and production?
– What will be the growth effect of falling prices on the global economy? How lower prices affect different economies and regions?
