The total voluntary cuts adopted by some member countries reached 2.2 million barrels per day, while the total cuts of OPEC+ members amount to 5.86 million barrels per day, which have been extended until the end of next year.

An OPEC statement said today's decisions came in light of the continued commitment of the OPEC and non-OPEC participating countries in the DoC to achieve and sustain a stable oil market, and to provide long-term guidance and transparency for the market.

It is also in line with the approach of being precautious, proactive, and pre-emptive, which has been consistently adopted by OPEC and non-OPEC Participating Countries in the Declaration of Cooperation, according to the statement.
