ABU DHABI: Crude oil at US$50 a barrel is too low for most producing countries, according to United Arab Emirates Energy Minister Suhail Al Mazrouei.

Prices have climbed almost 20% to above US$50 a barrel since the Nov 30 agreement by the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) to cut production for the first time in eight years to curb a global glut.
