KBRA Releases Research – Texas Well Positioned to Weather Oil Price Collapse

Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) releases a research report discussing the state of Texas’ financial ability to withstand the current drop in oil prices, due to OPEC’s decision to increase oil production.

In this report, KBRA examines the state of Texas, whose increasingly diversified economic base and substantial financial reserves make it well positioned to manage short- and medium-term disruptions to its energy industry and the overall economy.
