In this podcast, ICIS Senior Reporter Nurluqman Suratman speaks with Felicia Loo on the current macroeconomic developments supporting the majority of Asian petrochemical markets.

Asia's petrochemicals are jazzed in light of a growing global economic recovery and vaccinations underway in many parts of the world, which help stoke market confidence.

Sentiment was upbeat following news of US President Joe Biden who signed into law on Thursday a $1.9tr stimulus package that will provide support to the economy amid the downturn brought on by efforts to mitigate the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
