At its last meeting on March 1, OPEC+ agreed to a small increase of 206,000 barrels per day in April. Sundays meeting will determine production quotas for May. While there are currently no signs of the Strait of Hormuz reopening, one source said OPEC+ is likely to agree to a production increase that would have little immediate impact on current supply, but would signal a readiness to increase production once tankers can resume passage through the strait. "We need to react, at least in form," one source said. "The market needs every barrel of crude oil that can be produced right now," another source said. A third source said that the monthly production increase could also be suspended given current export restrictions.Two OPEC+ sources: OPEC+ is likely to consider raising oil production quotas again at its meeting on Sunday in preparation for a possible easing of export restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz.On April 2nd, it was learned from the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau that the State Taxation Administration and the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau recently jointly issued the "Notice on Further Deepening and Standardizing the Bank-Tax Interaction Work" to better leverage the important role of tax payment credit in the construction of the inclusive financial system and support the financing and development of private and micro-enterprises. It is understood that since 2015, the two departments have jointly carried out the "Bank-Tax Interaction" activity to support the development of micro-enterprises. By sharing corporate tax credit information in accordance with laws and regulations, they help banks accurately provide credit support to trustworthy enterprises, alleviate the financing difficulties of micro-enterprises, and promote honest tax payment. By the end of 2025, banking financial institutions nationwide have cumulatively issued 45.1772 million loans totaling 15.7 trillion yuan to honest taxpayer micro-enterprises through the "Bank-Tax Interaction" mechanism.
