The OPEC Ministerial and Non-ministerial meeting reaffirmed members' commitment to the Declaration of Cooperation on a stable market in 2021. The communique recalled earlier decisions from April, June and December 2020 on adjusting downward crude production.
It also described the unprecedented impact of COVID-19 on 2020 supply and demand.
The reaffirmed commitment signals continued production discipline, which supports the price floor for crude. The communique largely restates existing policy, so it adds limited new price pressure.
