Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria, and Oman participated in a virtual meeting last Sunday, during which they agreed to increase oil production by 188,000 barrels per day next month.  

This marks the fourth consecutive month that OPEC+ has increased its production, “despite the United Arab Emirates’ departure from OPEC on May 1 and the dissolution of the broader OPEC+ alliance.”

The adjustment announced by these seven OPEC+ countries is part of their “collective commitment to support oil market stability,” according to a statement.

A meeting of these seven countries is scheduled for July 5 to make further decisions. However, they have indicated that they will maintain full flexibility to adjust their production according to market conditions.

Starting next October, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC+) will increase production to 137,000 barrels per day, according to eight members at a virtual meeting last Sunday, September 7.

Thus, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria, and Oman agreed to this production increase following the “voluntary adjustments of 1.65 million barrels, which were previously implemented in April 2023.”

Representatives of these eight nations indicated that the 1.65 million barrels of crude oil per day “will be gradually subject to changing market conditions.” The governments will closely monitor market conditions, maintaining a cautious and flexible approach.

They reiterated their “collective commitment to act in full compliance with the Declaration of Cooperation, as well as the voluntary production adjustments that will be evaluated by the Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee.” They will hold another meeting on October 5 to review the international market.

The recent decision by eight OPEC+ members to maintain the increase in crude oil production in May led prices to extend their previous losses.

On Thursday, April 3, Russia, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Iraq, Algeria, Kazakhstan, and Oman decided to maintain the increase in production in May, at 411,000 barrels of oil per day.

“Oil prices, which had already lost more than 4 % following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of imposing tariffs on his trading partners, deepened their decline,” the statement said. On the other hand, OPEC+ also announced that there will be another 3.65 million bpd in production cuts through the end of 2026 to support the market.

The eight OPEC+ members had considered increasing production by 135,000 bpd next month “as part of a plan to gradually unwind their most recent layer of cuts.”

However, at last week’s virtual meeting, they approached their decision differently. Upon learning of the measure, OPEC justified the decision by citing “the continuation of healthy market fundamentals and the positive market outlook,” which “includes the increase originally planned for May, in addition to two monthly increases.”

The eight member countries will meet again on May 5 to decide on the production quota for the month of June.

Kuwait’s Capital Markets Authority (CMA) has announced a drastic move by issuing a circular establishing an outright ban on almost all cryptocurrency-related operations, including the use of Bitcoin and other virtual currencies in payments, investments, and mining.

The circular issued by the CMA also states that local regulators will not be able to grant licenses to companies to offer virtual asset services as part of their business operations.

However, it is important to mention that this prohibition does not affect securities and other financial instruments that are regulated by the Central Bank of Kuwait and the CMA itself, which are excluded from this restrictive measure.

The CMA warns customers about the risks associated with cryptocurrencies, noting that they have no legal status and lack the backing of any official entity. Furthermore, since they are not tied to any asset or issuer, their prices are often driven by speculation, making them highly volatile and prone to significant falls.

The issued circular also highlights that the penalties for violating Kuwait’s anti-money laundering laws are clearly stipulated in Article 15 of Law No. 106 of 2013, and are expected to be rigorously enforced.

This ban marks a significant shift in Kuwait’s position regarding cryptocurrencies and shows the growing concern of financial authorities about the potential impact of these virtual currencies on the country’s economic stability. From now on, citizens and companies must comply with this new regulation to avoid facing the established sanctions.

A voluntary cut in oil production was announced by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait, Iraq and Oman. The measure will be applied from next May and until the end of the year.

This reduction is in addition to the one previously announced at the end of 2022, after the agreement between the OPEC member countries.

The Arab nations that have made this decision have indicated that this term was reached in conversation with other members of the organization, although they did not provide additional details.

In detail, “Saudi Arabia will apply an additional reduction of half a million barrels per day, the Emirates 144,000 barrels per day, Kuwait 128,000 barrels per day, Iraq 211,000 and Oman 40,000.”

These reductions in oil production, as the main objective, contribute to market stability, in addition to “achieving a balance between supply and demand” in the global arena.
