Today, Monday, the Ministry of Oil announced its commitment to voluntarily reduce exports.

She added, “Despite the reports received regarding the region’s production outside of coordination and agreement with the federal government, and in order to address this only, the Ministry of Oil took the initiative to reduce oil exports for the coming months to absorb the increase recorded in Iraq for the past months of January and February.”
She pointed out that “coordination is being done with secondary sources to confirm this in their reports issued regarding the production rates of OPEC+ countries for the coming period.”
