Natural gas prices in Europe have reached the highest level since the beginning of 2023, continuing an upward trajectory that has worried the continent's energy markets.
The International Energy Agency issued an alert about the need for European countries to strengthen their strategic natural gas reserves to face future supply disruptions.
The agency also recommends that countries adopt more flexible supply contracts and diversify their import sources as measures to prevent price volatility.
The organization also calls for greater international cooperation among European countries to ensure the region's energy security and mitigate the impacts of future crises in the natural gas market.
