Consequences
of the
Oil Price Crash
Jean-Francois Seznec
Professor
Jean-Francois Seznec of Georgetown University recently spoke with Todd Feinburg
about how the crash in world crude oil prices is affecting oil
producing countries. Seznec, fresh on the heels of a tour of
the region, shares his insights through the Web site "Middle
East Interviews," a nationally syndicated radio talk show
hosted by Feinburg. They walked through the consequences of
declining oil revenues and the prospects for future oil pricing in
Saudi Arabia, Iran, the UAE and elsewhere.
Dr.
Seznec is a Visiting Associate Professor at Georgetown University.
His research centers on the influence of the Arab-Persian Gulf
political and social variables on the financial and oil markets in
the region. He has published and lectured extensively and is
interviewed regularly on national TV, radio and newspapers, as
well as by the foreign media. He is focusing on the
industrialization of the Gulf and in particular the growth of the
petrochemical industry. He uses his knowledge of business in the
Middle East and the United States to further his analysis of the
Arab-Persian Gulf.
