“We may well see that LNG markets in 2023 may shrink quite a bit, perhaps become narrower than this year,” Reuters quoted Birol as saying. According to the head of the IEA, this may happen due to increased demand in China, India and other Asian countries, the material notes.

Europe has imported a significant amount of LNG this year, with a 60% increase in accepted volumes, Birol said.

“One of the reasons that has allowed Europe to consume so much LNG is that economic growth in China has been sluggish this year… If the Chinese economy recovers… It will be difficult for Europe to attract so much LNG,” he concluded.
