⛽Main causes
- Geopolitical conflicts
The Russia–Ukraine War disrupted major oil and gas exports.
Sanctions on Russia reduced supply to Europe and beyond. - OPEC production control
OPEC limits oil output to influence prices.
When production is cut, prices often rise worldwide. - Post-pandemic demand surge
After COVID-19 pandemic, economies reopened quickly.
Demand for fuel rose faster than supply could keep up. - Underinvestment in fossil fuels
Many companies reduced oil exploration due to climate policies and uncertainty.
This led to tighter supply. - Refining and logistics issues
Some refineries shut down during the pandemic.
Shipping bottlenecks and transport costs increased fuel prices.
Effects of the crisis
