Bankrutują rafinerie ropy.
Ciekawe gdzie są politycy, tak stale produkujący się w mediach, jak to strasznie pomagają gospodarkom, którzy pozwalają na ekscesy spekulantów, sztucznie windujących ceny ropy przy spadku popytu?
Petroplus Holdings AG (PPHN), the largest independent European refiner, said it plans to file for insolvency. The stock plunged as much as 88 percent.
The Zug, Switzerland-based company will seek to ensure that operations are “safely shut down and to preserve value for all stakeholders,” according to a statement today.
The announcement marks a further decline in Europe’s refining industry after BP Plc and Royal Dutch Shell Plc cut capacity as margins thinned and fuel demand stopped growing. Petroplus had about $1 billion in credit lines frozen last month, preventing it from supplying plants with crude. It said last week it may sell three of its five European plants.
