If this trend will persist, then the aggressor country will really start problems. They need high prices for oil.
< p >The economic observer Vyacheslav Shiryaev told about this 24 to the channel, noting that in 2020 there was a moment when oil prices were negative, and then kept at the level of $ 20-30 per barrel for several months. Then Russia could count on the national welfare fund. Now the situation is different.
60 ~ h2 class = “News-Subtitle Cke-Markup” > what will happen if oil prices are low < h2 >~ 60 > as Shiryaev noted, Russia's expenses are literally trillion rubles. If oil prices will be low for a long time, then he will have problems with money for combat operations.
< p class = "Bloquote Cke-Markup" > reduce the cost of war is a loss of advantage. While he wants to continue to crush. But then he will need to choose: either make a deal with Trump, or continue the war. If you leave the war, it is not clear what to do with the domestic political situation and with the economic system that is too tied to the money that the budget allocates for military production, ”Shiryaev said.
60 > if Putin wants to continue the war at low oil prices, then he will have even greater problems. Reserves from the National Welfare Fund are quite low. Then he will have to print money. And this is the path to hyperinflation.
< p class = "Bloquote Cke-Markup" > every year the fund is reduced. Then it will be necessary to borrow money. Independent investors do not want to buy bonds. Then you need to print “candy wrappers.” Therefore, a decrease in oil prices are definitely problems with the budget and hyperinflation, ”said Shiryaev.
