Speaking at the keynote roundtable on Shale Gas: The Changing Landscape of Energy Security on 6 April, Al-Mady touched on the potential for the development of shale gas in Asia, and how it will create global shifts in economic power. “Asia is SABIC's largest market and we remain upbeat about the region's economic growth in the years ahead - charted by positive forces spurring sustainable development and growth. China will continue to play a major role in enabling Asian economies growth and steering the global economy stability. Clearly reflected in the country's 12th Five-Year Plan, it is increasing its focus on reducing environmental impact, increasing its value addition through efficiency and technology while maximizing growth of its domestic consumption," Al-Mady noted. --MORE 11:35 LOCAL TIME 08:35 GMT تغريد
