The global energy price index stood at around 101.5 in 2024. Energy prices were on a decreasing trend that year, and forecasts suggest the price index would decrease below 80 by 2026. Price indices show the development of prices for goods or services over time relative to a base year. Commodity prices may be dependent on various factors, from supply and demand to overall economic growth. Electricity prices around the world As with overall fuel prices, electricity costs for end users are dependent on power infrastructure, technology type, domestic production, and governmental levies and taxes. Generally, electricity prices are lower in countries with great coal and gas resources, as those have historically been the main sources for electricity generation. This is one of the reasons why electricity prices are lowest in resource-rich countries such as Iran, Qatar, and Russia. Meanwhile, many European governments that have introduced renewable surcharges to support the deployment of solar and wind power and are at the same time dependent on fossil fuel imports, have the highest household electricity prices. Benchmark oil prices One of the commodities found within the energy market is oil. Oil is the main raw material for all common motor fuels, from gasoline to kerosene. In resource-poor and remote regions such as the United States' states of Alaska and Hawaii, or the European country of Cyprus, it is also one of the largest sources for electricity generation. Benchmark oil prices such as Europe’s Brent, the U.S.' WTI, or the OPEC basket are often used as indicators for the overall energy price development.

Energy commodity price inflation in Hungary increased significantly in 2022. Gas price inflation recorded the highest increase, reaching 120 percent in October 2022. Energy commodity prices have increased in light of the Russia-Ukraine war and an ongoing fuel supply shortage. However, since July 2023, energy commodity price inflation has shown a decline in the country.

Liquid fuel price inflation in Austria has risen considerably since 2021, with the inflation rate peaking at 118.5 percent in March 2022. By comparison, gas inflation rate peaked at 117 percent in October 2022. These increases in inflation of various energy commodities were partly driven by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has caused uncertainty over Europe's security of gas supply, as well as intense energy price volatility. Energy commodity prices have shown a new increase in the country after dropping in 2023.

The inflation rates of energy commodity prices in Romania began increasing in 2021, and have fluctuated widely since then. Gas has seen the steepest rise, with the inflation rate peaking at 76.9 percent in June 2022. These increases in inflation were driven further by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has caused uncertainty over Europe's security of gas supply, as well as intense energy price volatility.

In 2024, the price of natural gas in Europe reached 11 constant U.S. dollars per million British thermal units, compared with 2.2 U.S. dollars in the U.S. This was a notable decrease compared to the previous year, which had seen a steep increase in prices due to an energy supply shortage exacerbated by the Russia-Ukraine war. Since 1980, natural gas prices have typically been higher in Europe than in the United States and are expected to remain so for the coming two years. This is due to the U.S. being a significantly larger natural gas producer than Europe. What is natural gas and why is it gaining ground in the energy market? Natural gas is commonly burned in power plants with combustion turbines that generate electricity or used as a heating fuel. Given the fact that the world’s energy demand continues to grow, natural gas was seen by some industry leaders as an acceptable "bridge-fuel" to overcome the use of more emission-intensive energy sources such as coal. Subsequently, natural gas has become the main fuel for electricity generation in the U.S., while the global gas power generation share has reached over 22 percent. How domestic production shapes U.S. natural gas prices The combination of hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) and horizontal drilling can be regarded as one of the oil and gas industry’s biggest breakthroughs in decades, with the U.S. being the largest beneficiary. This technology has helped the industry release unprecedented quantities of gas from deposits, mainly shale and tar sands that were previously thought either inaccessible or uneconomic. It is forecast that U.S. shale gas production could reach 36 trillion cubic feet in 2050, up from 1.77 trillion cubic feet in 2000.

The balanced annual panel data for 32 sub-Saharan countries from 2000 to 2020 was used for this study. The countries and period of study was informed by availability of data of interest. Specifically, 11 agricultural commodity dependent countries, 7 energy commodity dependent countries and 14 mineral and metal ore dependent countries were selected (Appendix 1). The annual data comprised of agricultural commodity prices, global oil prices (GOP) and mineral and metal ore prices, export value of the dependent commodity, total export value of the country, real GDP (RGDP) and terms of trade (TOT). The data for export value of the dependent commodity, total export value of the country, real GDP and terms of trade was sourced from world bank database (World Development Indicators). Data for agricultural commodity prices, global oil prices (GOP) and mineral and metal ore prices are obtained from World Bank commodity price data portal. This study used data from global commodity prices from the World Bank's commodity price data site since the error term (endogenous) is connected with each country's commodity export price index. The pricing information covered agricultural products, world oil, minerals, and metal ores. One benefit of adopting international commodity prices, according to Deaton and Miller (1995), is that they are frequently unaffected by national activities. The utilization of studies on global commodity prices is an example (Tahar et al., 2021). The commodity dependency index of country i at time i was computed as the as the ratio of export value of the dependent commodity to the total export value of the country. The commodity price volatility is estimated using standard deviation from monthly commodity price index to incorporate monthly price variation (Aghion et al., 2009). This approach addresses challenges of within the year volatility inherent in the annual data. In footstep of Arezki et al. (2014) and Mondal & Khanam (2018), standard deviation is used in this study as a proxy of commodity price volatility. The standard deviation is used because of its simplicity and it is not conditioned on the unit of measurement.
