Analysis by Region - MENA



We've cut our 2024 GDP growth forecast by 0.1ppts to a 2.0% contraction, and expect a 2.6% expansion next year. Our revision reflects an extension by OPEC+ of the voluntary oil production cuts until at least January due to concerns over weak demand. We expect the cuts will be extended until Q2 2025 and forecast oil prices will average US$72.6 pb next year.
