Responding to the largest supply disruption in history
The conflict in the Middle East has triggered an unprecedented disruption to global fuel markets, tightening supply and placing significant pressure on consumers and economies worldwide. In response, the IEA has launched its largest ever release of emergency oil stocks and also published a menu of demand-side measures that governments, businesses and households can take to shelter consumers from oil price pressures and support energy security.
The IEA is tracking policy measures adopted by countries in response to the unfolding energy crisis through this dedicated tracker. The two tables below provide up-to-date overviews of actions being implemented to conserve energy and support consumers around the world. The IEA will continue to monitor developments closely and update this tracker on a regular basis as new measures are announced and the situation evolves.
