LONDON—The International Energy Agency (IEA) on Tuesday raised its oil demand growth forecasts for this year and next despite slower economic growth in nearly all major economies, although its 2024 outlook remains much lower than that of producer group OPEC.
The Paris-based IEA said the market could shift into surplus at the start of 2024 having been kept in a “significant deficit” through year-end by voluntary cuts from Saudi Arabia and Russia which last until the end of December.
