Crude Oil Imports from Middle East Drop 67% in April

In a notable development, crude oil imports from the Middle East in April this year plummeted 67% compared to the same period last year. This marks a record decline in many years, reflecting major shifts in the global energy market.

According to experts, the main causes include weakening demand in major economies and adjustments to purchasing policies by importing countries. Statistics show that total crude oil imports from the region in April were only one-third of last year's level.

Analysts assess that this decline could significantly impact global oil prices and force exporting nations to seek new markets.
