According to him, the cartel has no goal to bring the cost of a barrel up to a certain level.
Also, El-Badri, dismissed suggestions that OPEC’s decision to uphold the current production quotas was dictated from outside. “Some say that the cartel decided under US pressure. Some argue that it is directed against Russia and Iran. All this is not true, “- said the head of OPEC.
Also, Al Badri urged Gulf countries continue to invest in oil exploration and production in spite of the market situation, in order to further prevent new jumps.
