Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said the current OPEC+ deal on oil output would be locked in until the end of the year.
In an interview published by Energy Aspects, the minister said the oil group can't increase output based solely on initial signals.
OPEC+ agreed in October to cut oil production targets by 2 million barrels per day (bpd) until the end of 2023.
"The agreement that we struck in October is here to stay for the rest of the year. Period," he said.
OPEC raised its 2023 global oil demand growth forecast this week on the back of China relaxing COVID restrictions but Prince Abdulaziz said that more assurances were needed.
