Barkindo spoke at a meeting of experts of OPEC and allies, a group known as OPEC+, according to remarks published by OPEC. OPEC+ will meet on Monday to decide output policies for February.
Barkindo also said OPEC now expected global crude oil demand to rise to 95.9 million barrels per day in 2021, or by 5.9 million bpd from 2020.
OPEC’s latest December forecast was lower than the previous forecast of a 6.25 million bpd rise because of the lingering impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
