Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) releases its Update on Geopolitics and Oil: The Great Disruptors research report, in response to rising geopolitical risks. This latest addition to our expanding Energy and Sovereigns coverage provides KBRA’s opinion on the main disruptors to global oil supply and demand.
