- Oil production in Russia will resume growing in 2025 and increase by 1% to 9.2 million bpd, not including gas condensate, Vedomosti report citing forecasts from VTB. The bank's analysts expect global oil demand to grow by 1%, with the easing of OPEC+ production restrictions also expected to set the stage for Russia to increase output.
