Other members of Opec+, a group of oil-producing countries, also agreed to continued cuts in production in an attempt to shore up flagging prices.

The seven hour-long meeting on Sunday of the oil-rich nations came against a backdrop of falling energy prices.

OPEC accounts for around 40% of the world’s crude oil and its decisions can have a major impact on oil prices.
