БЫСТРЕЕ СБАЛАНСИРОВАТЬ РЫНКИ
На протяжении порядка двух лет мы наблюдаем достаточно низкие цены на нефть, что сопряжено с большими рисками в будущем, главным образом потому, что ежегодно инвестиции в отрасль сокращаются на 200-250 млрд долларов. Буквально недавно была опубликована статистика о том, что прирост запасов по результатам геологоразведочных работ был наименьшим за последние 70 лет. Это говорит о том, что в перспективе могут быть риски дефицита энергоресурсов – поэтому странам необходимо координировать свои действия, чтобы как можно быстрее сбалансировать рынки.

РОССИЯ И САУДОВСКАЯ АРАВИЯ ДОГОВОРИЛИСЬ

Это обусловлено тем, что в настоящее время две страны несут на себе бремя ответственности по производству более 21% от мирового потребления нефти, необходимого для обеспечения глобального экономического роста и повышения уровня жизни, а также содействующего достижению Целей развития тысячелетия.
