22 Conclusions Strong 2 demand growth in North America and Asia continued into 211, in contrast to European demand weakness Major change in UK supply structure with growing role for LNG NBP price currently in coal switching range and below AGIP. Clear divergence vs. Henry Hub European/US economic forecasts downgraded but, as yet, growth forecasts for Non-OECD economies have not changed significantly Strong momentum in US gas production suggests continued disconnection from global market, as signalled by relatively low NYMEX futures Opposite trend in Europe signals growing import dependence. Pipeline/LNG split will depend on availability of flexible LNG and relative prices Aftermath of Japanese quake and emergence of new markets suggest strong LNG growth momentum in Asia Pronounced cycle in LNG supply with limited additions in followed by new wave of supply, mostly from Australia Global LNG market is cyclical and prone to shocks, highlighting value of growing flexibility
