IEF – Outlooks Comparison Report, Feb 2025

The main theme of the report is the comparative analysis of energy outlooks published annually by the IEA and OPEC. These forecasts play a crucial role in shaping global perspectives and informing policy and investment decisions. The report emphasizes the importance of dialogue between producers and consumers within the IEF's trilateral energy outlooks program, contributing to better understanding and decision-making on a global scale. It provides information for the 15th IEA-IEF-OPEC Symposium, comparing key scenarios and methodologies of the latest forecasts, and examines them in the context of other projections published by various stakeholders. The analysis helps align historical data, refine methodologies, and make assumptions that shape energy demand and supply trends in the short, medium, and long term.
