Letter Published in The National UAE on 22SEp 16 Saudi Arabia’s recovery can only be good for the global economy  I write to you in reference to Mina Aldroubi’s article Saudi energy minister: oil output ‘back to normal’ by end of month (September 17): it was a relief to read the statement issued by Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s energy minster, in which he said that the country’s oil output would return to normal after last Saturday’s strikes on two sites belonging to petroleum and natural gas company Aramco.That Saudi Arabia has been restrained in its response so far, while its international allies have expressed solidarity, is reassuring. However, it is important for the Saudis to resume business as soon as possible so as to bring relief to the global economy. A swift and robust recovery from such an attack is beneficial not just to Saudi Arabia but the rest of the world.K Ragavan, Bengaluru
