I-International Energy Agency (IEA) ithe ngoLwesithathu ukuba njengoko uqoqosho lwehlabathi luqala ukubuyela kwimeko yesiqhelo emva kobhubhane omtsha we-crown pneumonia, kwaye i-OPEC kunye namaqabane ayo bethintela imveliso, imeko yokunqongophala kwemveliso kwimarike yeoyile yehlabathi iyancitshiswa.

Emva kokuba i-International Monetary Fund (IMF) iphakamise uqikelelo lwayo lokukhula koqoqosho lwehlabathi kulo nyaka, i-IEA ikwaphakamise uqikelelo lwayo lokubuyiselwa kwemfuno yeoyile. Kwaye yathi: “Amathemba emarike aphuculweyo, kunye nezibonakaliso eziqinileyo zexesha langempela, nto leyo esishukumisela ukuba siphakamise ulindelo lwethu lokukhula kwemfuno yeoyile yehlabathi ngo-2021.”

I-IEA iqikelela ukuba emva kokwehla kweebhareli ezizigidi ezisi-8.7 ngosuku kunyaka ophelileyo, imfuno yeoyile yehlabathi iya kunyuka ngeebhareli ezizigidi ezisi-5.7 ngosuku ukuya kwiibhareli ezizigidi ezingama-96.7 ngosuku. NgoLwesibini, i-OPEC inyuse uqikelelo lwayo lwemfuno ka-2021 ukuya kwiibhareli ezizigidi ezingama-96.5 ngosuku.

Kunyaka ophelileyo, njengoko amazwe amaninzi evala uqoqosho lwawo ukuze kuncitshiswe ukusasazeka kobhubhane, imfuno yeoyile yachaphazeleka kakhulu. Oku kukhokelele ekunikezelweni ngokugqithisileyo, kodwa amazwe e-OPEC+, kuquka neRashiya, umvelisi weoyile onzima, akhethe ukunciphisa imveliso kakhulu ngenxa yokuhla kwamaxabiso eoyile. Uyazi, amaxabiso eoyile akhe ehla aya kwixabiso eliphantsi.

Nangona kunjalo, le meko yokubonelela ngokugqithisileyo ibonakala ngathi itshintshile.

I-IEA ithe idatha yokuqala ibonise ukuba emva kweenyanga ezisixhenxe ezilandelelanayo zokwehla kwe-oyile ye-OECD, yahlala izinzile ngoMatshi kwaye isondela kumndilili weminyaka emi-5.

Ukususela ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, i-OPEC+ ibisoloko inyusa imveliso kancinci kancinci kwaye yathi ekuqaleni kuka-Epreli ukuba ngenxa yokukhula kwemfuno okulindelekileyo, iza kunyusa imveliso ngeebhareli ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezi-2 ngosuku kwiinyanga ezintathu ezizayo.

Nangona ukusebenza kwemarike kwikota yokuqala bekudanisa kancinci, njengoko ubhubhane kumazwe amaninzi aseYurophu kunye namazwe amaninzi asakhulayo esanda kwakhona, njengoko iphulo lokugonya liqala ukuba nefuthe, ukukhula kwemfuno yehlabathi kulindeleke ukuba kukhawuleze.

I-IEA ikholelwa ukuba imakethi yeoyile yehlabathi iya kudlula kutshintsho olukhulu kwisiqingatha sesibini salo nyaka, kwaye kusenokufuneka ukuba kwandiswe ukunikezelwa kweebhareli eziphantse zibe zizigidi ezi-2 ngosuku ukuze kuhlangatyezwane nokukhula kwemfuno okulindelekileyo. Nangona kunjalo, njengoko i-OPEC+ isenamandla amakhulu okuvelisa kwakhona, i-IEA ayikholelwa ukuba ukunikezelwa kweoyile okuncinci kuya kuba mandundu ngakumbi.

Le ntlangano yathi: “Ukulinganiswa kwenyanga kobonelelo kwi-Eurozone kunokwenza unikezelo lwayo lweoyile lube lula ukuhlangabezana neemfuno ezikhulayo. Ukuba ayiphumeleli ukuhambisana nokubuyiselwa kwemfuno ngexesha, unikezelo lunokwandiswa ngokukhawuleza okanye imveliso ingancitshiswa.”
