IEA Raises Doubt on Doha Oil Summit Impact

A deal to limit oil output, to be discussed in Doha this weekend, would have a limited impact, says the International Energy Agency (IEA).
Opec and non-Opec oil producers are due to discuss a deal that would freeze oil production at current levels.

If they agree on that freeze, rather than a cut in output, the impact on oil supplies “will be limited”, the IEA said in its monthly report.

Oil prices have plunged since mid-2014, as supply has run ahead of demand.
The IEA points out that Saudi Arabia and Russia are “already producing at near record rates” and that Iran has plans to raise production back to the levels seen before it was hit with sanctions.

Global stocks of oil have hit a record three billion barrels this year.
