Discussing Chile’s possible accession to the IEA with officials from the South American country, the Agency’s Deputy Executive Director William Ramsay told BNamericas that “in the context of Chile becoming a candidate for the OECD, we have obviously sent out feelers to see what the country is thinking about its eventual association with the IEA”. He specified that, to join the IEA, Chile would need to accumulate strategic stockpiles equivalent to at least 90 days of net oil imports.
