G7 countries have not yet decided whether to release emergency oil reserves, Roland Lescure, French finance minister, said on March 9.
“We are not there yet,” Lescure said after a meeting of G7 finance ministers. “What we’ve agreed upon is to use any necessary tools if need be to stabilize the market, including the potential release of necessary stockpiles.”
