Oil Price Trends and Global Implications
Tue, July 14th, 2015
Washington, DC
The sharp drop in oil prices is one of the most important global economic developments over the past year. While oil’s long term price outlook remains highly uncertain, a substantial part of its decline is expected to persist into the medium term. Aasim M. Husain discussed implications of these developments for the global economy and financial markets, as well as recommended policy responses for key country groups. He was joined by Mark Finley and Uri Dadush to discuss market trends as well as their economic and political implications for oil-exporting and oil-importing countries. Carnegie’s Michele Dunne moderated. A light breakfast will be served.
