摘要

Global oil demand will increase by 1.3mn b/d next year, the same rate of growth as in 2016, while non-Opec supply expan- sion is likely to return next year, according to the IEA’s latest monthly Oil Market Report (OMR). Global demand is likely to average 97.36mn b/d in 2017, up from 96.07mn b/d this year and from 94.74mn b/d in 2015, the IEA said in its frst forecasts for 2017. The absolute majority of demand growth will come from developing economies, said the agency, which has revised its 2016 demand growth forecast up by about 100,000 b/d.
