OPEC+ Announces Postponement of December Meeting to December 5

In a statement issued today, Thursday, OPEC+ officially confirmed the postponement of its upcoming meeting, which was originally scheduled for December 1, to December 5. The delay comes in response to the overlap with the Gulf summit, which is set to take place in Kuwait on the same date.

The alliance had previously planned a gradual increase in oil production, which is set to begin in January 2025. However, the delay in the meeting could potentially alter the timeline for this planned increase, as a final decision on the matter will now be made next week.

Analysts suggest that the postponement may be a result of the need for more time among OPEC+ members to reach a consensus on key issues related to production policies and future oil strategies. This delay underscores the complexity of balancing diverse national interests within the alliance.
