El G7 admite que no sabe cuanto petróleo queda

En una noticia que puede provocar pánico pronto en los mercados del mundo, los ministros de finanzas de los siete países más industrializados (EU, Japón, Francia, Italia, Alemania, Canadá, el Reino Unido) se juntaron hoy en Washington D.C. para de una vez por todas saber cómo manejar los precios del petróleo. En la noche, después de saber qué sucede - según ellos - verán al ministro de finanzas de China...

Two examples: In New Zealand, the news website stuff.co.nz reported on October 1 that the country's oil supplies were "on a knife edge". In the Philippines on September 25, the Manila Bulletin Online ran a story headlined, "Energy Chief: Gov't Working to Address looming Crisis".
