Good morning. German Chancellor Scholz signals progress on budget talks, Saudi Arabia’s energy minister says OPEC+ production cuts will be delivered in full, and Qatar’s sovereign fund to sell more than £500 million in Barclays shares. Here’s what people are talking about.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he expects rapid progress in coalition talks on how to plug the hole left in next year’s budget by a court ruling that threw Germany’s financial planning into disarray. The three governing parties need a revised agreement that’s ready to be signed off at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday to allow time for parliament to approve it by Christmas. “We are working intensively on this,” Scholz told reporters on Monday.
