The International Energy Agency predicts that in 2019 the world demand for oil will grow by 1 million 400 thousand barrels per day compared to 2018 to 100 million 600 thousand barrels per day. As a result of this year, demand is expected to grow by 1 million 300 thousand barrels per day to 99 million 100 thousand barrels per day. The IEA report shows strong demand for oil in the first quarter and at the beginning of the second quarter against a background of colder than it was expected weather in the northern hemisphere. In the second half of the year, the agency expects a slowdown in demand growth.
