What exiting OPEC means is simple. The UAE is choosing flexibility, speed, and independence to secure energy markets in a more complex world. It means stronger confidence for consumers, faster response to global demand, and a UAE that leads with strategy, not outdated structures.

🚨BREAKING: UAE🇦🇪 EXITS OPEC AND OPEC+, OPEC LOSES ITS THIRD LARGEST PRODUCER The UAE announced its withdrawal from OPEC after more than five decades, effective on the 1st of May. The UAE is a founding member, having joined in 1967, four years before the UAE itself was established. The UAE said the move reflects its national interest and its role in meeting market needs at a time when the Strait of Hormuz crisis has disrupted energy flows and kept oil prices elevated, and forecasted higher energy demand in the future. The UAE has ambitions to increase production from 3.4 million barrels per day to five million by 2027, which OPEC quotas would have constrained. The UAE’s decision to leave OPEC and OPEC+ is a fundamental reordering of the global energy market, and a further shift towards multipolarity, with the UAE positioning itself to be at the forefront of meeting rising global energy demand. OPEC has long declined in its geopolitical power, and the UAE has decided to forge its own path with having no limits on increasing production, as the world reels from the energy shock unleashed by the Trump-Netanyahu war of aggression against Iran. The UAE is not the first in the GCC to leave OPEC, with Qatar leaving in 2019. The propaganda headlines you’ll be seeing of a UAE-Saudi conflict over the decision will likely amount to hot air. There will inevitably be short-term energy price instability, but countries around the world will rush to secure deals with the UAE to offset a major economic crisis caused by the war on Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The international institutions of old are increasingly irrelevant, and OPEC is widely seen as the organisation of yesterday. The future will likely involve energy institutions and mechanisms within BRICS, to facilitate stable energy prices in a multipolar world. The UAE’s exit from OPEC is just one step closer in that direction. With China and the global south set to drive economic growth this century, the UAE is now well-positioned to benefit from multipolarity, free of production caps, as long-term energy demand will continue climbing, as the nations of the global south develop their economies and increase living standards for their people.

The UAE decision to exit OPEC has been long in the making. The UAE has been quite open about its focus on holistic energy solutions. It also speaks to the UAE worldview and attitudes toward multilateralism which has been under strain in the past few years. The Gulf states agree on a prosperous region but diverge on the means to achieving it, and this is playing out in oil policy. The UAE exit does not preclude its cooperation with OPEC.

INTERVIEW: The UAE was dragged into a war it never wanted, and despite being a close trading partner with Iran, it was attacked more than any other nation The outcome? Pulling out of OPEC, closer cooperation with the U.S. and Israel, and a visit by the Crown Prince to China UAE Prof Abdulkhaleq Abdulla also warned the war is not over: “There’s a 50% chance the war resumes” We discuss how a resumption of the war would look like, how the UAE is preparing for such an event, and most importantly: What the region will look like once the war ends Abdulkhaleq Abdulla - U.S. -Israel war, not UAE’s choice - Gulf’s history of wars and UAE resilience - UAE-U.S. relationship and self-defense strategy - Iran as UAE’s top security threat - Why Iran is viewed as an enemy of the UAE - Why UAE was attacked more than others - Dubai/UAE as a global hub and symbolic target - Blame for the war: Iran vs. U.S. - Was going to war the right decision? - Military results of the 40-day war - UAE defense diversification beyond the U.S. - China vs. America in UAE strategy - UAE-Iran trade relationship - UAE leaving OPEC and the “new UAE” - Risk of a second round of war with Iran

My take on the UAE leaving OPEC: "It did not surprise me. I was a member of the UAE Financial Advisory Council (2008-14). At that time, my model for the optimum depletion rates indicated that the UAE should be pumping MORE, not LESS, and that the UAE should ignore OPEC quotas."

#WATCH | Abu Dhabi, UAE: Ahead of PM Modi's visit, UAE Minister of State for International Cooperation, Reem Al Hashimy says, "I think especially today, energy is compromised around the world because energy has also been weaponised by the Strait of Hormuz being taken hostage effectively, which is something the international community is also looking to address. By doing so, you are having many people all around the world - including in India, really struggle with basic household needs. That is something that will certainly feature in our conversations tomorrow. But more importantly, it is important to highlight that the UAE has always been, and continues to be, a responsible global player in the energy space which also explains a little bit why the UAE decided to exit OPEC a couple of weeks ago and really the primary reason for that would be that we were not producing to the full potential of what we are able to and particularly at this time when there is such challenges in supply, the UAE wants to be able to continue to play that responsible global partnership role."

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: UAE to exit OPEC and OPEC+ starting from 1 May After 50+ years as a founding heavyweight, the UAE is walking away from the world's most powerful oil cartel. Official statement via WAM says it's a strategic move for "long-term economic vision" and full production flexibility amid Gulf disruptions. Why this shakes the planet OPEC and OPEC+ control ~40% of global oil output and sets the quotas that literally move the price of every barrel on Earth. Their decisions dictate what you pay at the pump, inflation in your grocery bill, stock markets, airlines, shipping — basically the entire global economy runs on their rhythm.

BOLLING: UAE out of OPEC May 1. Likely tied to Bessent and the dollar swap line. Not a loan, a way to keep the petrodollar global. If UAE leaves, Qatar could follow, even the Saudis. It’s over. OPEC is a cartel that price fixes oil. They don’t lower prices, they raise them and line their pockets.

IRANIAN OIL RETURNS TO GLOBAL MARKETS. As America’s strategic oil reserves continue to deplete, the Trump administration has lifted sanctions on Iranian oil, allowing it to re-enter global energy markets. What does the return of Iranian oil mean for the world economy? Will increased supply lower energy costs and provide relief for consumers, or is this primarily a geopolitical calculation by Washington? With energy prices shaping everything from inflation to food costs, the decision could have far-reaching consequences far beyond the Middle East. David Morgan joins us to discuss what this move means for oil markets, the global economy, and everyday consumers.

My view with Daniela Cambone-Taub on why the UAE is leaving OPEC: "Due to the US-Israeli war on Iran, the Gulf states are in jeopardy. This incentivizes them to sell more oil now. The UAE wants to pump more oil faster, but OPEC won’t let them do that, so they’re out."

Rogin: It looks very likely that we're about to restart bombing of Iran. And there are a lot of reports out there that this is about to happen. And what that means is that all of the problems, not just with the US economy, with the economy of every country in the world, are about to get worse. And it means that the Iran war is going to go much longer than otherwise anticipated. And that is a disaster not just for Americans, but for all people. And then if you think about the effects on energy and then manufacturing, and then rates will continue to go up, and then inflation, it's a it's a calamity for the world economy with no strategy whatsoever.

Prof. John Mearsheimer: The UAE by itself is no match for Iran. And in fact, if the UAE were to get into a fight with Iran, I think the Iranians would destroy the UAE as a country. They'd go after the desalination plants, they'd go after their energy infrastructure. It would be a total disaster for the UAE.

The “landlocked Alberta” argument falls apart fast. Alberta is not blocked by geography. Alberta is blocked by federal policy. Independence would give Alberta more leverage, more control, and a stronger hand in securing access to tidewater and global markets.
