The Decision
Vice Minister of Energy Erlan Akbarov announced that Kazakhstan does not plan to increase oil output under the OPEC+ agreement. The decision comes despite a collective agreement by seven OPEC+ countries last week to boost production by 188,000 barrels per day in August. Kazakhstan's current quota under the deal remains unchanged.
OPEC+ Context
The seven countries that agreed to the August increase include Saudi Arabia, Russia, and the UAE. The move aims to gradually unwind previous production cuts as global demand recovers. Kazakhstan's position diverges from the group's majority, citing domestic considerations.
