According to RIA Novosti, this is stated in the April report of the International Energy Agency (IEA).
“Even taking into account that restrictions on movement will be eased in the second half of the year, we expect that global demand for oil in 2020 will fall by 9.3 million barrels per day compared to 2019,” the document says.
According to the IEA, such a decline will be "the largest in history."
Currently, May WTI oil futures have declined 2.34% to $ 19.64 per barrel.
Futures for Brent crude for June delivery fell 3.65% to $ 28.52 per barrel.
In early April, Russian leader Vladimir Putin, during a meeting on the situation on the global energy markets, said that in the future, due to the situation on the oil market, one could face a shortage of it.
