PARIS (Reuters) - International Energy Agency Executive Director Fatih Birol said he hoped a G20 meeting on Friday would restore stability to oil markets, with oil prices having been hit hard by the coronavirus crisis and spats among oil-producing states.

"Following the welcome step announced overnight by some producer countries, I am looking forward to today's extraordinary meeting of G20 energy ministers. I hope that it will help restore some much-needed stability to oil markets," Birol said in a statement on Friday.
