OPEC+ (seven members) keeps October 2026 production quotas unchanged
On 6 September 2026, a seven‑member OPEC+ subgroup (Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria and Oman) announced it will maintain its September 2026 required production levels for October 2026, keeping monthly output targets unchanged and pausing further quota increases into October.
The desk brief
On 6 September 2026, a seven‑member OPEC+ subgroup (Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria and Oman) announced it will maintain its September 2026 required production levels for October 2026, keeping monthly output targets unchanged and pausing further quota increases into October.
Maintaining quotas for October limits near‑term additions to global supply, which can support oil prices and thus boost fiscal revenues for exporters such as Angola (AGO) and Nigeria (NGA). Conversely, higher oil prices raise import bills and FX pressures for net‑importing African economies. The move is conditional on actual physical flows, which the sources warn may be constrained by the Iran conflict, so realized price effects depend on market disruptions and production capacity restoration.
OPEC+ seven‑member subgroup next meets on 4 October 2026 to review market conditions.
