EIA sees steady OPEC production growth, supporting Azerbaijan’s revenue planning

The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) recently released its forecast for OPEC’s crude oil production in 2026, projecting an average daily output of 33.76 million barrels. While this represents a modest increase from the 2025 projection of 33.64 million barrels, it underscores a broader trend of gradual growth rather than dramatic expansion. For oil-exporting nations like Azerbaijan, these projections are not merely statistics; they are crucial indicators for economic planning, investment strategies, and long-term fiscal stability.

EU-Armenia partnership document raises questions on commitment to peace

The EU calls its new 64-page agenda with Armenia a “strategic partnership.” In practice, it reads like a political time capsule, one that drags the region back into the pre-2020 mindset and recycles narratives already settled on the ground. After the Washington D.C. Summit and the initialing of the Azerbaijan–Armenia peace agreement, Brussels had an opportunity to solidify progress. Instead, the EU chose to anchor Armenia’s political comfort zone while sidelining the core realities that define today’s South Caucasus.
