Japan and Germany to release strategic petroleum reserves
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi announced that Japan will independently release its strategic petroleum reserves to mitigate the impact of the Middle East war. In a speech broadcast by NHK on Wednesday, Takaichi stated that the release could begin as early as March 16, involving an amount equivalent to 15 days of privately held oil reserves and one month of national oil reserves. This move comes amid the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) proposal to release emergency oil stocks—a release potentially the largest in the agency’s history—with a decision expected later on Wednesday. Additionally, Germany’s Economics Minister said Germany would also release part of its national oil reserves, though specific details remain to be finalized. (Jinshi)
