Ghost of "Supply Loss" Haunts Markets: IEA Predicts Harsh Government Measures

 Amid geopolitical tensions in 2026, Fatih Birol announced that the acute shortage in oil supply, estimated at 13 million barrels per day, has placed the world at a dangerous historical crossroads. The IEA Director predicted that the continuation of the war would lead to radical changes in government consumption policies to counter the inflation resulting from the energy crisis. Birol stressed that the balance between supply and demand has been completely lost, requiring urgent international coordination to prevent the collapse of energy security in oil-importing countries and avoid more catastrophic economic repercussions.
