2015 Petrochemical Outlook Webinar

Yet another turbulent year lies ahead of the European petrochemical industry, with lower crude oil prices and weaker Euro not only posing threats, but also offering opportunities. Could they be a blessing in disguise as European producers claw back margins and increase their competitiveness in the international markets?

Join us as we discuss the likely impact of lower crude oil prices, Eurozone deflation and rising Asian capacities on the struggling European petrochemical industry.

Platts Editors Maria Tsay, Miguel Cambeiro, Shashank Shekhar and Daved Chohan will discuss:

• How have fallen crude oil prices affected the European cracker margins?

• Why Eurozone quantitative easing program should help to revive petrochemical demand?

• What impact expanding aromatics capacities East of Suez will have on the global balances?

• What impact recent currency changes and alterations in tax regimes will have on global trade flows?

• A live Q&A session will follow the presentation.
