Saudi Aramco said Tuesday it will not try to increase its maximum daily oil production to 13 million barrels a day after receiving a directive from the Kingdom’s Energy Ministry.

Aramco said in a statement it would maintain its Maximum Sustainable Capacity (MSC) at 12 million barrels a day.

“It is to be noted that MSC is determined by the State pursuant to the Hydrocarbons Law, enacted by Royal Decree M/37, dated 12/20/2017. The Company will update its capital spending guidance when its full-year 2023 results are announced in March,” added the statement.

Türkiye is facing genuine disinflation prospects, its deputy central bank governor said on Wednesday, adding that it was replenishing reserves following the hit to them in the wake of recent political turmoil.

"For the first time, I believe we are facing genuine disinflation prospects in the true sense of the world," Central Bank Deputy Governor Osman Cevdet Akcay said during a panel discussion at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development annual meeting in London.

"So, we might see a break in inflation numbers suddenly to be sustained."

He added the central bank was rebuilding the country's reserves "slowly but surely."
