Consider the following statements regarding the OPEC grouping:
Consider the following statements regarding the OPEC grouping:
- AOnly one
- BOnly two
- CAll three
- DNone of the above
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
OPEC steers markets through production targets and quotas, not export quotas, so statement 1 is reversed and wrong. The UAE wasn't the first to leave; Ecuador exited as far back as 1992, well before Indonesia, Qatar and the UAE's 2026 departure, so statement 2 is wrong. OPEC has never been confined to Asia and Africa, since founding member Venezuela and later Ecuador are in South America, so statement 3 is wrong too. None of the three are correct.
