Assessment

Read the full assessment

IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol confirmed that global energy markets will not return to pre-Ukraine war levels by 2027 due to persistent fuel shortages, winter demand, and heightened security concerns. This assessment, while not a formal IEA forecast, indicates a prolonged period of elevated energy prices and supply volatility. The specific impact of the Middle East conflict on this trajectory remains partially unclear.
