Group of Seven (G7) nations have agreed to release 100 million barrels of fuel from emergency oil reserves over the next four months, according to Anadolu Agency.
The group reaffirmed its commitment to refrain from imposing energy export restrictions among its own members, and urged oil and fuel producers more broadly to avoid bans that could worsen current market pressures.
Responding to an energy crunch
The decision follows a meeting of G7 leaders, convened in part by French President Emmanuel Macron, as the bloc looks to stabilize fuel markets amid an ongoing energy crisis.
Releasing reserves is a tool G7 countries have used before during periods of market stress, intended to increase near-term supply and help ease price pressures on consumers and businesses.
The report did not specify how the 100 million barrels would be divided among member countries or which products beyond diesel would be included in the release.
