The International Energy Agency (IEA) has proposed the largest release of oil reserves in history, aiming to address a surge in energy prices.

This proposal was circulated during an emergency meeting of energy officials. If implemented, this potential release would represent an unprecedented move. It is set to surpass the 182 million barrels that member countries made available in two separate tranches during 2022, following the invasion of Ukraine. According to reports citing officials familiar with the discussions, this would be the single largest release of oil reserves to date.
