The Secretary-General of OPEC said on Thursday that the organization believes that oil demand will not reach its peak in the long term. It is expected that by 2045, oil demand will increase to 116 million barrels per day, or even higher. The International Energy Agency (IEA) said in a report on Wednesday that it believes oil demand will peak in 2029, reaching a level of about 106 million barrels per day, instead of the previously expected 2030. Al-Ghais, the Secretary-General of OPEC, wrote that the IEA's report is 'dangerous comments' that will only lead to potential unprecedented energy price fluctuations, especially for consumers. Ghais said that similar statements have been proven to be wrong in the past, such as the IEA's previous prediction that gasoline demand would peak in 2019, or coal demand would peak in 2014.
