Falling oil price: Winners and losers



Shashank Singh is a Client Reporting Analyst in New Delhi

Following our blog on how IR pros should face up to sinking oil price, a reader from India, Shashank Singh, sent me a Fortune article about the winners and losers in the price war that the major oil powers are presently embroiled in. I feel obligated to share it with you.

The article which is based on research by Oxford Economics, notes that countries like  France, Brazil, China and the Philippines are presently making a kill from tumbling oil prices while Russia, Saudi Arabia, and, yes, Norway are not finding it funny.

The report, titled, Oil-ipedia, notes that ‘for most countries around the world, cheap oil is a good thing’ ... ‘A world with lower oil generally looks pretty good’. But if the drop in oil price is such a good thing, the article asks, why the world is reacting so negatively to the drop in price?
