據5月17日Gulf times報道，歐佩克秘書長穆罕默德巴金多表示，石油危機最糟糕的階段已經過去，隨著全球經濟復蘇，下半年市場前景將開始變得樂觀。

他表示，歐佩克及盟友正在迅速實施減產。歐佩克+將在6月再次開會時考慮所有選擇。從5月1日開始的每日970萬桶的減產，將在兩個月后逐漸減少。現在來談論是否會決定改變這個計劃還為時過早。歐佩克將考慮全球經濟狀況、石油需求復蘇的力度以及當前形勢發展的狀況再做決定。

OPEC Chief Optimistic the Worst of Oil Crisis Is Over

PEC is cautiously optimistic that the worst of the oil crisis triggered by the coronavirus pandemic is over, said the group’s top official.

The outlook for the market in the second half of the year is starting to look more encouraging as the global economy recovers, said Mohammad Barkindo, secretary-general of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, Bloomberg reported.

The organization and its allies are rapidly implementing their production cuts.

OPEC+ will look at all options when it meets again in June, Barkindo said. The 9.7 million barrels s a day of production cuts that started on May 1 are due to gradually taper after two months. It’s premature to say whether the group could decide to change this plan, he said.

OPEC will consider the state of the global economy, the strength of the recovery in oil demand and the status of the coronavirus pandemic in its discussions, Barkindo said.
