Seven OPEC+ countries - Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria, and Oman - decided to raise production by 188,000 barrels per day in June, compared to May.

Key adjustments:

1.
Russia: +62,000 bpd
2.
Saudi Arabia: +62,000 bpd
3.
Iraq: +26,000 bpd
4.
Kuwait: +16,000 bpd
5.
Oman: +5,000 bpd
6.
Kazakhstan: +10,000 bpd
Saudi Arabia's increase is mostly "paper" - the kingdom was forced to cut actual production by 23% in March (to 7.8 million bpd) due to shipping constraints in the Strait of Hormuz.
The UAE is no longer part of this decision after officially leaving OPEC and OPEC+ on May 1.
