Takaichi confirma liberaciones adicionales de reservas de petróleo para el próximo mes

La ministra de Seguridad Económica de Japón, Sanae Takaichi, confirmó el 10 de abril que el país liberará más petróleo de sus reservas nacionales el próximo mes, tras las extracciones iniciales realizadas en marzo debido a las interrupciones causadas por la guerra en Oriente Medio.

El anuncio se suma a los esfuerzos de Japón por estabilizar el suministro energético después de que las interrupciones en el suministro provocadas por el conflicto en Oriente Medio dispararan los precios. El gobierno, que posee las mayores reservas del mundo, comenzó a recurrir a sus existencias en marzo. Takaichi declaró que se planean nuevas liberaciones para el próximo mes con el fin de frenar el aumento de los costos internos del petróleo, según informó The Japan Times.
