Venezuela plans to exit OPEC to boost oil output
Venezuela is exploring the possibility of withdrawing from OPEC after more than 60 years of participating in its founding, amidst discussions with American officials to increase oil production outside the organization's quota constraints. Although its current production is low, approximately 1.16 million barrels per day, withdrawals could allow Venezuela to boost its output in the future without restrictions, potentially expanding in the oil market and increasing global supply. This move is part of Caracas's efforts to strengthen its relations with the United States and achieve greater investments in the oil sector. It is seen as a strategic step that could diminish OPEC's influence and give the U.S. more space to exert control over the oil market, although its immediate impact on global markets has been modest so far.
