The UAE quit OPEC
💡But the real story is more interesting than the headline.
Let's put the actual numbers on the table:
UAE OPEC+ quota for May: 3.447 mb/d
UAE actual March production: 1.892 mb/d
Gap: 1.56 mb/d already under-producing massively
The immediate constraint isn't OPEC+ paperwork, It's Hormuz.
You can't produce what you can't export, and 87% of normal tanker traffic through the Strait has vanished.
Kuwait declared force majeure.
Saudi slashed output.
The UAE is in the same physical trap.
So if they can already produce more than their quota allows once Hormuz reopens why leave?
2 reasons:
💰Financial: Abu Dhabi is investing to hit 5 mb/d capacity by late decade. Staying in OPEC+ risks future quotas capping them well below technical capacity once the crisis passes.
They're not solving a 2026 problem they're removing a 2028 ceiling.
💥Personal: Iran attacked UAE infrastructure for weeks. Saudi Arabia said nothing. Not publicly, not privately, not symbolically. Abu Dhabi was taking hits from a war it didn't start, under a quota framework that Saudi Arabia leads, protected by a partnership that went silent when it mattered.
The quota math gave them the cover.
The silence gave them the reason.

@NalinisKitchen When a man asksed her to pay the bill he's trying to get rid of her. Isn't that obvious?
She was smart enough and understood and luckily man didn't need to go through the painful conversation of rejecting her.
A fruit seller in Mumbai, was caught applying Ratol paste on fruits to protect his stock from rats.
Ratol contains 3% yellow phosphorus, a protoplasmic poison that is rapidly absorbed when ingested and can be fatal, especially for children.
It’s unlikely he is the only one doing this; he’s just the one who got caught. This may well be a more common practice than we realise.
So be cautious. Add this to your survival guide for India, and always wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly before consumption.
I’m sure 8 out of 10 people who vandalised the studio know it is not owned by Kamra.
And yet, they vandalised it. Why? To send a message to all other studio owners in Mumbai and elsewhere what hosting provocateurs like Kamra could result into.
Kamra incited vandalism with his politically charged commentary masqueraded as humour.
I hope builds an airtight case against him so that no other studio has to bear the destruction of property that Mumbai studio witnessed.
@anandmahindra That is my Mami.
