OPEC and its non-OPEC partners, known collectively as OPEC+, concluded their 52nd Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC) meeting on June 18, 2025, reaffirming their current oil production policy. The decision to maintain existing output levels reflects the alliance’s cautious optimism regarding the global energy market and its ongoing strategy to promote price stability and market balance.
The JMMC evaluated the latest oil market developments, considering macroeconomic trends, oil demand forecasts, inventory levels, and geopolitical risks. According to the official statement, current market fundamentals do not warrant any changes to production levels. The decision aligns with OPEC’s principle of acting preemptively to prevent unnecessary volatility while preserving energy security and supporting global economic growth.
OPEC noted that commercial oil inventories in OECD countries remain near their five-year average, signaling a balanced supply-demand situation. This stability supports OPEC+’s decision to continue with the production adjustments previously agreed upon in earlier meetings.
The group emphasized the importance of continued voluntary cooperation between member countries and non-OPEC allies, including Russia and Kazakhstan. OPEC praised participating nations for their high conformity to production targets and commended their shared efforts in supporting the global energy market.
OPEC also reiterated its commitment to market responsiveness. While no immediate policy shift is necessary, the JMMC will continue to closely monitor market signals and will not hesitate to make necessary adjustments to stabilize supply if demand softens or geopolitical events escalate.
In line with its broader vision, OPEC underscored the importance of sustainable energy development. The organization supports member nations’ investments in cleaner technologies, capacity building, and diversification initiatives to ensure energy sustainability and economic resilience in the long term.
The committee concluded its statement by reaffirming that the next full OPEC and non-OPEC Ministerial Meeting will evaluate production targets for the third quarter of 2025. Until then, member countries are expected to adhere to the current agreement, contributing to market confidence and price stability.
