The French government announced on Thursday the release of 10 million barrels of oil from its national strategic reserves. This decision aims to stabilize fuel supply amid significant tensions in the oil markets.
This measure comes in the context of major disruptions threatening the availability and price stability of oil. By releasing these reserves, France seeks to prevent shortages and limit price increases that consumers can no longer bear, reports France 24.
