Chinese oil demand is likely to remain subdued until at least the middle of next year, according to Janet Kong, chief executive officer of Hengli Petrochemical International Pte.
12月3日，据彭博社报道，恒力石化国际首席执行官孔庆影表示，中国石油需求预计至少在明年年中之前都将保持疲软。
"It's difficult to find a very bright spot unless the government rolls out new policy at beginning of next year," she said on the sidelines of the Financial Times Commodities Asia Summit in Singapore.
她在英国金融时报亚洲大宗商品峰会期间表示：“除非政府在明年年初出台新的政策，否则很难看到积极的信号。”
Government policy remains the wild card for China's outlook, said Kong, who heads one of the country's biggest private refiners. The market is watching the so-called Two Sessions, the annual meetings of the China National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, to see if there will be more stimulus, she said.
孔庆影表示，政府政策仍然是影响前景的最大变数。她指出，市场正在关注两会，以观察是否会出台更多刺激措施。
Any move by authorities to raise fuel export quotas for refineries, could boost demand, Kong said. And China's purchases for its strategic petroleum reserves might lift imports, but with inventories already high it's unclear how much further buying Beijing will do, she said.
她说，任何提高炼油厂出口配额的举措都可能提振需求。而中国为战略石油储备进行的采购也可能会推高进口量，但由于库存已经很高，目前尚不清楚北京还会进一步采购多少。
"The urgency isn't there, but the capacity, the ability is there," Kong said. "So it means any SPR build will be a lot more policy induced."
孔庆影说：“目前没有迫切性，但空间和能力是存在的。这意味着任何战略石油储备的补充都将更多由政策驱动。”
