OPEC+ stands for OPEC Plus, an international organization abbreviation.

Alliance between OPEC members and other major oil producers, led by Russia, that jointly set production targets. Together the group accounts for a large share of global crude output.

Example: OPEC+ agreed to raise output by 411,000 barrels a day next month.

Usage notes

The arrangement began in late 2016 with the Declaration of Cooperation, as OPEC sought help supporting prices amid rising US shale production. Non-OPEC partners include Russia, Kazakhstan, Mexico and Oman. Its monthly meetings of a smaller group of key producers often move oil prices.
