Oil Price Fall: What Can OPEC Do?

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Members of OPEC are meeting in Vienna to discuss their oil production and how to push up the falling oil price, but so far their talk of cutting production has had little effect. The BBC's economics correspondent Andrew Walker is at the meeting in Vienna and tells us why the talks are not having the desired effect. Also, Harris Irfan, author of Heaven's Bankers: Inside the Hidden World of Islamic Finance, and managing director of European Islamic Investment Bank, talks about the future of sharia banking. And the BBC's Phil Mercer charts the economic contribution of one of Australia's growing migrant communities - Indians.
