up of policy and decision-makers, government officials, experts, analysts,
and industry leaders from the investor community in Iraq, the Middle East,
and beyond.
Global energy markets have experienced unprecedented dynamics since IEF 2019 From the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and its associated supply chain disruptions to a subsequent slow and painful recovery shaped by micro and macroeconomic trends that still linger. Rising inflation and unheeding
lockdowns at major trade centres continue to ripple affect the global economy.
Meanwhile, the World and by extension the Middle East are starting to
experience accelerated transformations that are impacting how governments,
energy firms, and businesses approach climate change, sustainability, and
investment. Indeed, the energy transition has become at the centre of policy
and strategy in the region.
As the world grapples with the effects of conflict in Europe, attention now,
more than ever, is refocused on energy security. An almost complete
collapse of energy dialogue between suppliers and consumers is adding to
the mounting challenges.
The theme of IEF 2022 will be “The Middle East as The Cornerstone of Global
Energy Security.” With nations competing for every drop of oil and molecule
of natural gas, the Middle East is a petroleum endowed region at crossroads;
it must balance between continued investment in fossil fuels and its own
sustainability and net-zero targets
