# The International Energy Agency warns that diesel shortages could continue into next year as conflicts in the Middle East and Russia disrupt supplies. Diesel prices have soared, pushing up transport costs and putting pressure on businesses and consumers. Although refineries are expected to increase production, the agency says this will not be enough to make up for current shortages. Countries are releasing emergency oil reserves to ease prices, but falling stockpiles could leave markets facing further supply problems in the months ahead.
