New decline in refined product output in Venezuela in 2017.
2017 refined oil products production growth (1.4%) overtook its long-term trend (1%)
As in 2016, the 2017 growth was driven by Asia – China and India accounted for more than 60% of the increase in refined oil products production – and by the Middle-East, especially Saudi Arabia and Iran. Production also rose in South Korea (dynamic demand) but contracted in Japan (declining oil product consumption).
In the United States, the largest producer of petroleum product worldwide, oil product production rose for the fifth year in a row and reached a record in 2017. It also grew in Canada, but fell in Mexico and Venezuela, where crude oil production contracted.
Production remained stable in Russia.
Petroleum product production rebounded in the European Union, in line with rising consumption, despite recent refinery closures over the past years in Europe combined with the willingness of Middle East countries to refine crude oil locally and low refining costs in North America.

India mulls over 25% safeguard duty on solar imports from China
The Indian Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has recommended the implementation of a 25% safeguard importation duty on solar cell imports from China and Malaysia for a 2-year period. The proposal has not yet been approved by the government and the duty will start at 25% in the first year, then be reduced to 20% for the first six months of the second year and to 15% in the final six month period. The proposal is very similar to the safeguard duty levied by the United States in January 2018, which set up anti-dumping tariffs on imported solar cells and modules at 30% during the first year and then gradually declining to 15% after a 4-year period.
