During the weekend, the finance ministers and central bank administrators from the world’s 20 largest economies concluded a meeting, calling for more dialogue to prevent trade and geopolitical tensions from hurting growth. Looks like a counter strategy to cope with the U.S. sanctions. This way, the crude oil supplies may not be disrupted.
