Oxford Energy Podcast – MENA oil exporting countries’ diversification strategy under deep uncertainty
In this podcast David Ledesma discusses a recent OIES Energy Insight on MENA oil exporting countries’ diversification strategy under deep uncertainty with the co-author Bassam Fattouh. They cover a range of issues including how Middle East oil exporters are coping with the double shocks of COVID-19 and low oil prices; what measures they are taking to meet the budget deficits; the factors shaping their oil policy; the long-term challenges they face given that their dependency on oil revenues remains very high; the strategies they can adopt to manage the risks associated with the energy transition; and the strategies they can adopt to increase the resilience of their energy sector in the face of potential disruption.
