Price caps on Russian oil likely hit Moscow's revenues from oil and gas exports by nearly 30% in January, or about $8 billion, from a year ago period, International Energy Agency (IEA) chief Fatih Birol said on Sunday.
He said the growth in global oil demand this year will come from China and that may need the OPEC+ countries to look at their (output) policies.
"And now this year Chinese economy is rebounding. ..this is putting upward pressure on the demand," he said referring to 'exploding' demand for jet fuel in China.
