Iraq increased crude output to a record level in March, ahead of a meeting in Qatar of OPEC members and other producers on freezing production to curb a global glut. Crude output in the group’s second-biggest producer rose to 4.55 million barrels a day last month from 4.46 million barrels in February, according to the state-run Oil Marketing Co. Exports increased to 3.81 million barrels a day in March from 3.23 million the previous month, the company, known as Somo, said in an e-mailed statement.
