In support of the stability of the global oil markets, and the enhancement of the balance between supply and demand, the member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and the producing countries within the OPEC+ have decided to implement a voluntary reduction of crude oil production, Asharq al-Awsat writes.

Experts described the move, which was adopted by Saudi Arabia and international producers, as a new pillar that takes into account the conditions of the global economy, amid the crises hitting the financial and banking sector, the news site adds.

Dr. Mohammad Al-Sabban, former senior adviser to the Saudi Minister of Energy, told Asharq Al-Awsat that "the decision of some members of OPEC+ was not new, as Saudi Arabia had voluntarily reduced its production by one million barrels per day over the past year. The latest move is a proactive and precautionary step by the producing countries that would take in the effects of the reduction until the end of the year".

The OPEC+ alliance is historically successful, and achieves economic stability in the oil markets, he said, adding that the group was also concerned with creating a balance between supply and demand, the article adds.
