Opec
With oil prices falling below $50, everybody is closely watching the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) to see whether the body will be able to bring about any change.

Opec was created at the Baghdad Conference on September 10–14, 1960, by Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. The five were later joined by eight other members: Qatar; Indonesia (which will leave Opec at the end of 2008); Libya;the UAE; Algeria; Nigeria; Ecuador (which suspended its membership from 1992-2007) and Angola. The organization had its headquarters in Geneva for five years before moving to Vienna in 1965.
Opec was formed to coordinate and unify petroleum policies among member countries; to secure fair and stable prices for petroleum producers; and to ensure a regular supply of petroleum to consuming nations.
