Energy crisis in Argentina: can anyone predict the future ahead? Part II
July 31, 2007
Analysis by: Oscar Carbajal, Oil & Gas Investment Analyst,Cristina Fernández: The honeymoon is already over | www.ft.com
Following a previous article we explain the reasons why in our opinion we believe tariffs in the energy sector will increase. Whilst most analysts think the crisis obeys mainly to a regulatory snag we do not believe the problem to be as simple as that. Introducing new regulations or even reformulating policies when problems and solutions are obvious is not so difficult, the difficulty arises when politicians are faced with the complexity of accountability, to themselves and their own ambitions in the first place and to voters in the second. Do they really want to solve the problems or do they use them to keep themselves in power longer?

Analysis by: Oscar Carbajal, Oil & Gas Investment Analyst,Exxon Mobil Profit Falls to $10.26 Billion | www.nytimes.com
However uninspiring Exxon Mobil’s recent market performance may have been compared to the previous one, one should not lose sight that this has been the fourth-largest quarterly profit ever recorded by a publicly traded U.S. company.
