中化新网讯 6月18日，信用评级机构惠誉国际巴西石化行业首席分析师马塞洛·帕皮亚尼表示，全球石化 行业低迷期可能延续至2028年，而产能过剩引发的多年危机或造成持久影响。 帕皮亚尼表示，与本轮低迷期前的平均水平相比，低迷时期出现的价差收窄，或将对石化企业的财务状 况及其借贷、投资能力产生深远影响。就当前情况来说，惠誉国际预测低迷期将持续至2028年，因为全 球新产能投产势头不减，但需求无法消化新增产能。帕皮亚尼表示："我们现在预计下行周期会更长一 些，可能持续至2028年，因为当前化学品价格仍处于底部，且这种态势可能还会持续一段时间。我听说 有些行业人士认为低迷期将在2030年结束。我们需要观望，但事实上，其结束时间已多次延后。" 帕皮亚尼指出："这是多数全球石化企业经历过的最漫长的下行周期。我们正在试图弄清楚的是，当行 业复苏、价差回归中期水平时，行业利润能否达到此前的高度?"他通过企业业绩的关键财务指标"盈利/ 债务比率"解释这一理论：该比率越高，企业去杠杆的压力越大，因此资本支出和其他长期生产力提升 措施可能会受到影响。帕皮亚尼表示："危机过后，企业是否预期盈利和杠杆水平能恢复至动荡前的状 态?这是一个 ...
