Business Daily

Available for over a year

OPEC: Can the cartel of oil producers still influence world oil prices? And is the falling oil price a sign of global economic weakness or a boon for the world economy? The 麻豆社's economics correspondent Andrew Walker is in Vienna, at the OPEC meeting, and speaks to independent oil analyst Cornelia Meyer. Also, the 麻豆社's Matthew Price reports from Luxembourg after the European Commission starts an investigation into whether the city-state is acting as a tax haven for some global companies. Plus, the 麻豆社's Korea correspondent Steve Evans looks at how Seoul's plastic surgery industry is facing a backlash following a series of horror stories.
