OPEC Says Oil Demand Falling Faster Than Expected

摘要

London (Reuters) - World oil demand is shrinking faster than previously thought as a slowing global economy erodes consumption and keeps oil prices under pressure, OPEC said Wednesday. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries said demand would drop by 1.37 million bbls a day in 2009 to average 84.2 million bbls per day. Its previous forecast was for consumption to fall by 1.01 million bbls a day.
