Were seeing that there and it also a sign that opec plus are really showing a strong defence of 80 a barrel floor in pricing.

But, if the market does end up being weaker on the demand side, what we are seeing is opec could very well extend and keep the market in deficit anyway. A lot of this also, the geopolitical solution, tensions in the middle east where opec keeps expanding capacity on hold, to be able to release a little bit more if needed because all of this, all of the deficits that are now happening, despite the fact not actually seeing a supply disrupted from the middle east conflict but that is something that still could play out and then tighten things up to much stronger degree.

Dozens of delegates are preparing to meet in beijing as china kicks off its annual parliamentary meeting on tuesday. It is a time where the government outlines its economic plan for the year but the country is facing a number of challenges with many hoping they will unveil some bold policies to help give the economy a much needed use. Our Business Reporter katie silva explains. When it comes to the economy, chinas officials are in a difficult position. The country because my post pandemic economic recovery has been dipped disappointing. Youth unemployment is high, governments are saddled with debt and people arent having babies. Raising questions about the future workforce. Lets not forget that is all before that downturn in the real estate sector which accounts for about a quarter of the economy. That has been going on for almost three years, and falling Property Prices are hurting consumer confidence. People are less willing to spend and also, unlike in much of the rest of the world, prices in china are falling. All that may feel welcome in the short term, it also signals that things are not well with the economy. That is just what is happening inside china. From the outside, restrictions on ship exports are the countrys tech ambitions. All in all, it is a very tricky tricky situation to make policies for. But beijing has been trying. The countrys central bank has been cutting key Interest Rates to boost the economy. State owned banks have promised they will keep lending to those struggling Property Developing developers. But beijing hasnt been willing to spend any money to turn the economic fortunes around and experts say there are limited tools and their arsenal to fix things.

To take a decade for that to bearfruit. Other areas to take a decade for that to bear fruit. Other areas like the electronic Vehicle Industry which has been a Success Story for china are really too small to help the economy very much and given the pushback from the eu and the us, is unable to result in large exports.

One region may suffer a little bit but others rebound very quickly. Big Growth Markets at the moment are india, saudi arabia, the uk, traditionally very large markets for us, has been our top three for some considerable time. And i think the thing is, because we are slightly challenged with space, this is why the impetus to invest in technology is so strong and that enables us to continue to grow our Customer Base and allow more slots and more capacity for our airlines.
