VIENNA, Nov. 30 (Xinhua) -- The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies, a group known as OPEC+, on Thursday announced further production cuts for next year to bolster oil prices that have recently tumbled amid a weakening economic backdrop.
Following a virtual meeting of OPEC+ oil ministers, OPEC said in a statement on Thursday night that its Secretariat "noted the announcement" of several OPEC+ countries to additionally cut a total of 2.2 million barrels per day (bpd) for the first quarter (Q1) of 2024, which aims to support "the stability and balance of oil markets."
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
