For the first time in history, the global economy was faced with the threat of three shock factors that could provoke a global recession: economic and technological US confrontation with China, trade, tariff and currency wars, US sanctions against major oil producers

Further steps to weaken national currencies increase the likelihood of a global currency war with extremely unpredictable consequences

If at previous forums in Verona we talked about the fact that there are three regulators on the world oil market - Russia, Saudi Arabia and the USA, today only one regulator remains on the market - the USA. And this must be taken for granted
- stated Sechin.

Recent events have shown that the so-called fragile suppliers can be classified not only the traditional five countries (Iran, Venezuela, Libya, Iraq, Nigeria - ed.), But also Saudi Arabia
