The report has outlined the challenges facing the world economy in the next two years. It is expected that OPEC producers will reach an agreement not to further increase oil production level, which in conjunction with the decline in oil shale production will strengthen oil prices and bring about a relative stability in the oil market. It is projected that the average price of oil will be $40 per barrel in 2016.
