The head of Kuwait Petroleum Corp said on Thursday OPEC might need to boost output as high oil prices threatened the global economy. [ID:nN27280337] Farouk al-Zanki, head of Kuwait Petroleum Corp, told Reuters at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, he was concerned high oil prices might contribute to the start of another global downturn as they did in 2008. Kuwait is the fifth largest producer in OPEC. [ID:nLDE70Q1KN] "The first signs are emerging that OPEC is responding, with a thinly veiled call for an emergency OPEC meeting by a Kuwaiti official and indications others are unilaterally raising output," JPMorgan analysts led by Lawrence Eagles said. OPEC's next meeting is scheduled for June.
