OPEC official warns of more cuts in output

OPEC may need to cut output again if there is insufficient demand for its crude, a senior official for the group controlling 40 per cent of global oil supplies said.

The warning came less than a week after the group’s secretariat forecast that demand for OPEC crude would fall next year for the third year in a row.

“I think OPEC’s objective is to satisfy demand in the world market and to meet any real demand,” the Algerian energy minister, Chakib Khelil, told reporters in Milan.
