Kuwaiti Oil Minister Sheikh Ahmad Abdullah al-Sabah said Thursday the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries will step in to alter output if crude prices top $100 a barrel.

"If prices of oil go above $100, then OPEC will meet to take a decision on production levels," in a bid to boost supplies, the Kuwaiti minister told reporters outside parliament.

But Sheikh Ahmad stressed any decision will greatly depend on prevailing "market situations and supply and demand."

The minister also said he was happy with the current oil price, which has been hovering around $85 a barrel for some time.
