Kuwait's oil production is expected to reach 2.628 million barrels per day in June, the state news agency (KUNA) quoted the country's oil minister as ⁠saying on Sunday.

Seven ⁠OPEC+ countries will raise oil output targets by 188,000 barrels per ⁠day in June, the third consecutive monthly increase, OPEC+ said in a statement after an online meeting.

The output targets are largely symbolic ⁠for ⁠now, as Gulf countries have had to curtail production while the Strait of Hormuz is shut during the Iran war.
