Supply cuts have supported an oil price increase, Saudi Arabia economy expects 4% GDP growth
Global benchmark Brent crude has soared over 26% so far this year, bringing the price back to pre-pandemic levels.

In December, they agreed to a very moderate increase of half a million barrels a day. Source: WSJ
