Oil Prices Reflect Growing Concerns About Chinese Demand
By:Tsvetana Paraskova 

The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has alerted that maritime trade is facing a ‘historic moment of crisis due to Ukraine versus Russia war, which has disrupted major shipping routes.

The Secretary-General, UNCTAD, Ms. Rebeca Grynspan, who disclosed this at the Global Maritime Forum’s yearly summit in New York, said the world needs the shipping industry to brave the rough seas of crises.

She said the war in Ukraine has not only disrupted major shipping routes and supply chains but has also triggered global food, energy and finance crises that have sparked record prices and could push tens of millions more people across the world into hunger and poverty this year.

Grynspan said maritime transport has a key role to play in cushioning the blow, since ships carry over 80 per cent of the goods the world trades, including most of the food, energy and fertilizers people desperately need right now.
