According to OPEC's forecast, OECD liquids supply is expected to rise by 0.9 mb/d, averaging 33.3 mb/d. The primary driver of this growth is anticipated to be OECD Americas, projecting an increase of 0.8 mb/d to achieve an average of 29.1 mb/d.
Meanwhile, yearly liquid production in OECD Europe is forecasted to rise by 0.1 mb/d, reaching an average of 3.8 mb/d, while OECD Asia Pacific is expected to decline by 13 tb/d year-on-year, averaging 0.4 mb/d.
