LIVE | Explainer: What Is OPEC and How Does It Control Global Oil Prices?

The United Arab Emirates’ decision to exit OPEC+ marks a major shift in global oil politics. As one of the group’s largest producers with significant spare capacity, the UAE’s departure weakens OPEC’s ability to control supply and influence prices. The move is driven by national interests, especially frustration over production limits imposed by OPEC quotas. It also comes amid rising geopolitical tensions and disruptions to key oil routes, such as the Strait of Hormuz. With greater freedom, the UAE may increase output, potentially putting downward pressure on prices. The decision signals growing cracks within the alliance and could reshape the balance of power in global energy markets.
