Mustafa Alrawi and Chris Nelson discuss the numerous headlines emerging from Adipic this week and what it all means for the wider energy sector in this episode of The Business Extra podcast. <strong>Listen here:</strong> Also in this episode, Jennifer Gnana speaks with Ahmed Attiga, chief executive of Arab Petroleum Investments Corporation (Apicorp), about the political and investment landscapes for oil in the Middle East and the wider energy sector.
