IEA says global economic slowdown hit oil demand in 2013
- Middle East: Thursday, December 13 - 2012 at 04:49
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has said global oil demand will be sluggish throughout 2013, as economic expansion remains tepid and oil supply levels comfortable, which could alleviate oil price pressures on consumers, Reuters has reported. The agency forecast global oil demand growth for 2013 at 865,000 barrels per day, 110,000 bpd higher than in its previous report, taking consumption to an average of 90.5 million bpd. The IEA also said its estimate of demand for Opec oil was unchanged for 2013 at 29.9 million bpd, much lower than the group's current production of 31.22 million in November.
