Mohamed Arkab, Algeria's energy minister, arrives ahead of the 177th Organization Of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) meeting in Vienna, Austria, on Thursday, Dec. 5, 2019. Saudi Arabia, the dominant force in OPEC, is using both carrot and stick to talk other members of the oil cartel into defending prices at Thursday’s ministerial meeting.
(Bloomberg) -- Algeria replaced its energy minister as part of a cabinet reshuffle that President Abdelmajid Tebboune pledged to restore calm as discontent over the OPEC member’s economic plight grows.
Mohamed Arkab will succeed Abdelmajid Attar, who became energy minister in mid-2020. Tebboune also named Mohamed Bacha as industry minister, according to a statement from the presidency.
