UAE says OPEC, allies to announce exit strategy from oil cuts in June

United Arab Emirates Energy Minister Suhail bin Mohammed al-Mazroui said on Monday that OPEC and non-OPEC oil producers plan to announce in June an exit strategy from global supply cuts, but that does not mean the pact will end by then. 



Mazroui said it was premature to talk about the form or shape of such an exit strategy before June, when OPEC, Russia and other producers participating in the supply-reduction agreement - aimed at boosting oil prices - are due to meet next.

Kuwait’s oil minister, Essam al-Marzouq, said on Sunday that OPEC and other oil producers would study before June the possibility of an exit strategy from the global agreement. 

Novak said it may take between three and six months to exit the deal, depending on the state of the global oil market and demand for crude.

Under the deal, producers are cutting supply by about 1.8 million barrels per day.
