The Group of Seven club of rich countries called on oil-producing countries Friday to increase production to help bring down prices, a month after OPEC+ decided to drastically reduce its output.

Increasing production should help "decrease volatility in energy markets" caused by the war in Ukraine, G7 foreign ministers said in a statement after talks in Germany.

The G7 also intends to finalise "in the coming weeks" the implementation of a Russian oil price cap mechanism, they said.
