Global demand for oil is set to converge onto pre-pandemic levels in 2022. 
Supply is the wildcard here. Smaller members of the OPEC cartel have struggled to meet their production targets, while US shale is constrained by capital discipline.
For the region, higher oil prices entail slower growth as real incomes weaken; greater price pressures at a time when negative output gaps are closing; and widening external imbalances.
