FT Alphaville » Re-inventing Opec

Wednesday’s Opec meeting may have resulted in a no-change decision on production targets, but as more and more people are noticing, its importance lay elsewhere — in signalling some significant turmoil within the organisation itself.

Saudi oil minister Ali Naimi, was famously quoted calling it “one of the worst meetings we have ever had.”
