This can partly be explained by weaker demand, robust supply growth and the expanding coverage of mandatory energy efficiency provisions worldwide. These changes come at a time of major turmoil in parts of the Middle East. Iraq – with the world’s fifth largest oil reserves – is engaged in the fight against ISIL/Da’esh which controls some of Iraq’s oil fields. Syria – with a national budget largely dependent on oil revenues – is torn apart by civil war. Iran, on the other hand, is returning to international oil markets as a result of the gradual removal of sanctions against it, in line with the agreement on its nuclear programme. Takes into consideration only those policies for which implementing measures had been adopted by mid-2015 and assumes they persist. Considers current policies and announced intentions, even if the precise implementing measures have yet to be fully defined. Sets out an energy pathway consistent with the goal of limiting the global increase in temperature to 2°C. While the supply of oil to the international market has been increasing over recent years, demand has been slowly decreasing. The World Energy Outlook 2015 forecasts the market rebalancing at US$80 per barrel in 2020, with a further increase in price thereafter, but does not rule out a more prolonged period of lower oil prices.

    Low oil prices have adversely a�ected the budgets of oil-producing countries, causing losses in revenues. The situation of con�ict-torn countries like Libya, Syria, Iraq and Yemen, whose budgets are heavily dependent on oil, is particularly di�cult. Many of the Gulf countries, however, will be able to withstand low prices, thanks to high �nancial reserves built up over years, in the hope of eliminating some competitors.

    The convergence of lower oil prices, increased e�orts of the law enforcement community, and the military response to curb ISIL/Da'esh �nances have contributed to reducing the group's revenue, and consequently weakened the 'caliphate's' capacity to fund its 25 000-strong army.

    Bahrain, Kuwait, Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar are �nancially, diplomatically and militarily engaged in the con�icts in Syria, Iraq and/or Yemen. While regional stability proves elusive and the share of defence spending in national budgets is projected to decrease towards 2020, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE will remain among the biggest defence spenders globally.
