International Women’s Day always prompts contemplation, debates and discussions around how well workplaces around the world are empowering women and ensuring better gender balance through the corporate hierarchy.

The global oil market is at a historic inflection point on demand and there are no straight contenders for the driving seat being vacated by China, writes Vandana Hari in her latest column for Energy Connects. The two major consumption centres of US and OECD Europe are past their historical peaks and likely to see a plateau or slip into a gradual decline. Overall global oil consumption is likely to continue growing into next decade, but the momentum will be scattered across mid-sized and smaller emerging economies in Asia, Middle East, Africa and Latin America, making the trajectory less consistent and probably more unpredictable than the one hitherto shaped by China.
In her exclusive column, Vandana Hari, Founder of Vandana Insights, highlights how crude prices faced short-term challenges despite OPEC+ deferring production cuts, with markets cautiously navigating global demand fluctuations and awaiting the Fed's strategic response to support economic stability.
