Countries outside OPEC, should reduce the supply of oil, while OPEC not to reduce its stake below 40%, RIA Novosti reports quoting OPEC Secretary General Abdullah al-Badri.
The reduction of investments in the sector by $ 130 bn will lead to an increase in oil prices.

However, the reduction of quotas by OPEC by 1.5 mln barrels a day which will take place at the meeting on 4 December, will help balance the oil market, Bloomberg reports OPEC Secretary General.

"We need a price which will help oil producing countries to invest and consumers - to buy. States should work together. We need to stabilize the market," al-Badri said.

Since the beginning of the summer of 2014 to early 2015, oil prices have droped almost twice - from 100 to 45$ per barrel of Brent. The collapse in prices in the past year enhanced the OPEC`s decision from 27 November to maintain the oil production quota at 30 mln barrels per day.
