In this Arabic interview, Dr. Omid Shokri, a faculty member at George Mason University, discusses the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) latest oil market report. The IEA projects a significant slowdown in global oil demand growth through 2028, with demand only modestly increasing after 2024. Despite the weaker demand outlook, upstream investment is expected to reach its highest level since 2015, driven by a $1 trillion commitment to renewable energy and reduced spending on fossil‑fuel exploration, which could constrain supply by 2026‑27. Shokri explains how OPEC+ production cuts aim to rebalance the market, and how the interplay of supply‑demand dynamics, economic recovery from the pandemic, and geopolitical factors (especially China’s strategic oil reserves and stimulus measures) will shape oil prices. He contrasts the IEA’s expectation of rising crude prices with more optimistic forecasts from investment banks such as Goldman Sachs, noting the challenges of accurate price prediction. Overall, Shokri expresses cautious optimism that OPEC and the IEA can provide reliable forecasts, while highlighting the importance of Chinese demand, strategic reserves, and the transition toward renewables in the coming years.
