Drop prices for oil and gas - an occasion for the authorities to pay attention to internal affairs

61

Brent crude oil after reaching the mark of almost 23 dollars per barrel again returned to the fall, which some experts already call “familiar”. At the moment, a barrel of oil of this brand is sold at a price of about $ 20,9. The price of WTI and Urals oil is significantly lower.

Against this background, Deutsche Bank decided to predict the “depth” of Russian financial reserves in case of a long stay of oil quotes at low levels. According to analysts at Germany’s largest bank, at a price of $ 15 per barrel for the Russian brand of oil, Russia's NWF reserves will last no more than 2 years. An indicator of six years, experts call at a price of Russian brand oil at $ 30 per barrel.



So far, the price of a barrel of Urals has fluctuated around 10-12 dollars per barrel, which is the record for recent decades. Throwing price. By the way, by the way, too.

About NWF in numbers


So what does the NWF prepare for us ...

As of March 1, 2020, the amount of funds in the National Welfare Fund of Russia amounted to 7,3% of GDP or 8 trillion 249 billion rubles. This is the maximum value since December last year, if we talk about the percentage of GDP, and the maximum for the whole history the existence of the NWF, if we talk about the ruble mass (excluding inflation). In dollars, the indicator was (as of March 1) 123,4 billion.

Drop prices for oil and gas - an occasion for the authorities to pay attention to internal affairs


Experts in Russia believe that today the ruble is optimally formed for the Russian economy against the dollar at such low oil prices. This made it possible to bring the ruble equivalent of the NWF to record levels, which in turn allows the state to fulfill its social obligations.

However, in any case, $ 10-12 per barrel of Urals oil is too low to be counted on for SWFs in our country for years. The dependence of the country's economy on oil prices is still very significant, and in a pandemic, when other sectors do not provide the opportunity to receive optimal revenues to the state budget, the situation looks at least tense.

However, in such a situation, the Russian authorities have a new perspective ... or an excuse - to pay attention to internal affairs - to stimulate domestic demand, which will spur domestic production, infrastructure development, and will save jobs.

One of the directions is to finally start implementing gasification projects for territories where Gazprom and Novatek didn’t step, and if they did, it was only to lay the pipeline by - to Europe or China. and they will provide stable profits (after all, it has never been decided to write off debts to our citizens ...), and the regional economies will be given a new impetus.

      By the way, pensioners in many villages are almost the wealthiest people, except for the heads of administration, they are the only ones who see them live. But they also need to heat, firewood and coal are several times more expensive than gas. But that's not the problem. Coal mines in Siberia are in the hands of oligarchs, who not only do not want to convert the CHPP to gas, but also regularly give the paws to Moscow ecologists, continuing to poison the environment and people in such megacities as Krasnoyarsk or Chelyabinsk, where in calm weather a normal person just do not breathe. And numerous complaints even at the level of the President of the country are stupidly kicked off under the guise of numerous reports on state programs.

    For 20 years, the tsar’s father has taken Russia off the oil needle, and it seems that he will continue to do this for another 20 years until the oil runs out. And if he and his loyal friends are oligarchs, oh excuse me, but now they’re not, they are now businessmen and patriots. So, if the tsar’s patriots will not have enough money, then they will be withdrawn by taxes, raising prices for housing and communal services and gas, and other tributes from us, ordinary people.

    the situation is very ambiguous ... It’s probably no secret to anyone how the ruble exchange rate is supported .. If you don’t support it, it will fall .. and this automatically means price increases, inflation, impoverishment of a large number of the population, which is already living hard .. And the endless support of the exchange rate will lead to the fact that foreign exchange reserves run out ... (They are disproportionate and are unlikely to grow at such prices for oil and gas ... I'm not talking about the budget, a certain part of which is generated just from the income of oil and gas). . so wherever you go, some questions: what to do and how to fix it ..
