Iraq to consider all options if OPEC quota is not raised, has weighed exit, sources say
BAGHDAD, June 25 (Reuters) - Iraq will be compelled to consider all available options if its OPEC quota is not significantly increased, a senior Iraqi oil ministry official told Reuters on Thursday.
Iraq is enduring a critical financial crisis on the back of the Iran war and a significant increase in its OPEC quota is a must and should be treated with utmost seriousness, the source told Reuters.
Separately, sources said Iraqi officials had considered leaving OPEC, but the current plan is to remain a member and seek a higher quota.
