This trend implies that the group may encounter challenges in easing production cuts unless there is a significant acceleration in global oil demand or OPEC is willing to accept lower prices

According to the report, OPEC expects that global oil demand will rise by 2.25 million barrels per day in 2024, compared to the growth of 2.44 million bpd in 2023
