Red alert.
The imports of “petroleum” (= crude oil + pretroleum products + others) have increased (volume) by 12,8 % on Q1, compare to Q1 2007.
And in value (8,13 billions USD)… +82 % !
Hopefully, because the THB has strenghten, the increase is “only” 66 % in THB…
On Q1, the average price per barrel was 94 USD… Therefore, we are going to see further degradation in april and may… unless volumes start to decrease.
