I think the current prices will remain for the long term,” said al-falih.
the overall situation in the world economy and on world oil markets will be next year better than in 2016, he said. “We see changes in the global market. Next year will be better situation. Developing countries need more oil. The demand for oil tells us that the economy is recovering, that the countries develop. I think the next in 2017 will be healthy economically,” the Minister added in Saudi Arabia.
