OPEC

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Counties (OPEC) is a permanent international body, formed in Baghdad in September of 1960. OPEC plans and orchestrates the petroleum policies of its 13 member countries – and, by default, most of the world’s gas and oil prices. This topic covers the latest news on OPEC’s plans.
