Opec will reduce production by 1 or 2 million barrels a day, said the president of the organization Sunday on the Algerian TV
-
“there is a consensus within opec to reduce production, but there is no agreement on how much to cut”, he said.
-
Khelil ascribed oil prices slump to economy recession which led to a decrease of demand. He also warned against the persistence of the situation to 2009.
-
He called on non-Opec countries to hold responsibility, in stabilizing oil market. They have to adopt coordinated measures with Opec, as he put.
-
However, he expects China to boost demand by some 700 000 barrels a day in 2009 which is not enough to face up with the tough situation in the first quarter of next year.
