Gas prices 'may spark recession'


A Qatar firm that is to supply a fifth of Britain's future gas warns high prices could spark a global recession.

Gas prices are at record levels with global demand for energy boosted by economic growth in China and India. Faisal al-Suwaidi, head of Qatargas, warned the high prices could spark a recession in the developed world.

Qatargas is to supply up to 20% of Britain's gas starting in 2007 at the earliest, with the fuel arriving in liquid form. The imports will come through a new terminal at Milford Haven.

Mr Al-Suwaidi said the high global prices would affect supplying nations as well as the consuming countries.

1. The U.S. 06 recession is on it's way no matter what.
In 06 the revenue collected by the Government will be at an all time low. The chickens are coming home folks.

2. I think the pukes are going to inflate out of it until Nov 2006
Three indicators:

No indication of further rate hikes.

Increase in gold prices.

No government reporting of M3 after March 2006.

"...No government reporting of M3 after March 2006."

6. Question for economics majors: Does a world-wide recession help the
famous 1-2% that own everything? The same 1-2% that get all the tax breaks?

Will this help or hurt the B*** "haves?"
