**Emmanuel Macron** has convened a G7 summit to evaluate a potential coordinated release of strategic oil reserves from the **International Energy Agency (IEA)**, in response to tensions in energy markets.
## The IEA and reserve management
The **International Energy Agency (IEA)**, an organization bringing together major oil-consuming economies, has the capacity to coordinate the release of strategic reserves of its member countries. This measure has been used in the past to stabilize crude oil prices during crises or significant supply interruptions. The last time it was activated in a coordinated manner was in March **2022**, when member countries agreed to release **60 million barrels** to mitigate the impact of the war in Ukraine.
## Context of the call
The French President's summoning of the **G7** underscores concern over oil market stability. Crude oil price volatility can have significant effects on global inflation and economic growth. The decision to consider a new reserve release seeks to signal to the market and potentially increase available supply to counteract upward price pressures. The **IEA** holds emergency reserves of approximately **1.5 billion barrels** of oil.
