I-International Energy Agency (IEA) ithe ngoLwesithathu njengoba umnotho womhlaba uqala ukusimama obhubhaneni olusha lwe-pneumonia, kanye ne-OPEC kanye nabalingani bayo bakhawulela ukukhiqizwa, isimo sokugcwala ngokweqile emakethe kawoyela emhlabeni wonke siyadamba.

Ngemva kokuba i-International Monetary Fund (IMF) iphakamise isibikezelo sayo sokukhula komnotho emhlabeni wonke kulo nyaka, i-IEA iphinde yaphakamisa isibikezelo sayo sokutholwa kabusha kwesidingo sikawoyela. Futhi wathi: "Amathemba emakethe athuthukisiwe, ahambisana nezinkomba zesikhathi sangempela ezinamandla, okusishukumisela ukuba siphakamise lokho esikulindele ngokukhula kwesidingo sikawoyela emhlabeni wonke ngo-2021."

I-IEA ibikezela ukuthi ngemva kokwehla kwemiphongolo eyizigidi ezingu-8.7 ngosuku ngonyaka odlule, isidingo sikawoyela emhlabeni wonke sizokwenyuka ngemiphongolo eyizigidi ezingu-5.7 ngosuku sifinyelele emiphongolweni eyizigidi ezingu-96.7 ngosuku. NgoLwesibili, i-OPEC inyuse isibikezelo sayo sesidingo sika-2021 saba yimiphongolo eyizigidi ezingama-96.5 ngosuku.

Ngonyaka odlule, njengoba amazwe amaningi evala umnotho wawo ukuze kwehliswe ukubhebhetheka kwalolu bhubhane, isidingo sikawoyela sashayeka kanzima. Lokhu kuholele ekuthengeni ngokweqile, kodwa amazwe e-OPEC+, okuhlanganisa nomkhiqizi kawoyela we-heavyweight eRussia, akhethe ukunciphisa ukukhiqizwa kakhulu ngenxa yokwehla kwamanani kawoyela. Uyazi, amanani kawoyela ake ehla afinyelela kumanani angemuhle.

Nokho, lesi simo sokugcwala ngokweqile kubonakala sesishintshile.

I-IEA ithe idatha yokuqala ikhombisa ukuthi ngemuva kwezinyanga eziyisikhombisa ezilandelanayo zokwehla kwezinga le-OECD kawoyela, bahlala bezinzile ngoMashi futhi sebesondela esilinganisweni seminyaka emi-5.

Kusukela ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, i-OPEC+ ibilokhu ikhulisa kancane ukukhiqizwa futhi yasho ekuqaleni kuka-April ukuthi lapho ibhekene nokukhula kwesidingo esilindelekile, izokwandisa ukukhiqizwa kwemiphongolo engaphezu kwezigidi ezimbili ngosuku ezinyangeni ezintathu ezizayo.

Nakuba ukusebenza kwezimakethe kwikota yokuqala bekudumaza ngandlela thize, njengoba izifo eziwumshayabhuqe emazweni amaningi aseYurophu kanye nezomnotho eziningana ezisafufusa ziyakhula futhi, njengoba umkhankaso wokugoma uqala ukuba nomthelela, ukukhula kwesidingo emhlabeni jikelele kulindeleke ukuthi kusheshise.

I-IEA ikholelwa ukuthi imakethe kawoyela yomhlaba wonke izoba nezinguquko ezinkulu engxenyeni yesibili yalo nyaka, futhi kungase kudingeke ukuthi kwandiswe ukunikezwa kwemiphongolo ecishe ibe yizigidi ezi-2 ngosuku ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nokukhula okulindelekile kwesidingo. Kodwa-ke, njengoba i-OPEC+ isenenani elikhulu lokukhiqiza okwengeziwe ukuze ilulame, i-IEA ayikholelwa ukuthi ukunikezwa okuqinile kuzokwanda.

Le nhlangano ithe: “Ukulinganiswa kwanyanga zonke kokutholakala kwe-Eurozone kungenza uwoyela wawo uvumelane nezimo ukuze uhlangabezane nesidingo esikhulayo. Uma ihluleka ukuhambisana nokutholwa kwesidingo ngesikhathi, ukunikezwa kungakhuphuka ngokushesha noma okuphumayo kungehliswa. “
