# Iraq reaffirms OPEC+ ceiling while seeking a 2027 revision

> Iraq’s Oil Ministry said it remained committed to its OPEC+ ceiling of 4.431 million barrels per day while seeking a higher limit for 2027. It said a consultancy was assessing members’ sustainable production capacity and that any increase would require agreement among producers; a separate reported output figure above five million barrels per day was not reconciled with the ceiling.

## Why it matters

The current ceiling signals no approved near-term increase, while a possible higher 2027 limit could add future supply if OPEC+ agrees. Uncertainty over Iraq’s actual output and compliance adds uncertainty to the group’s supply outlook.
