НЕФТЬ: БОЛЬШЕ ИНВЕСТИЦИЙ
«Ранее мы видели, что на 1 триллион долларов сократились инвестиции в период с 2014-го по 2016 годы включительно, в 2017 году этот тренд пошел уже на увеличение инвестиций в нефтяном секторе. Мы видим также, что снизилась волатильность на рынке, и можно сказать о том, что цена в первом полугодии 2017 года нефти марки Brent была на 30% выше первого полугодия 2016 года. И это стало существенным фактором, который способствовал, в том числе и росту доходов бюджета, улучшению торгового баланса экономики», - рассказал глава российского Минэнерго.

США, в 2013 году приобретенных за счет средств ФНБ, сумму неосуществлённого купонного платежа в размере 75 млн. долл. США и штрафные проценты, начисляемые на эти суммы. Проценты на сумму основного долга по облигациям подлежат оплате по ставке 8% годовых, проценты на сумму невыплаченного купона – по ставке «3-месячный ЛИБОР в долларах США плюс 2 процента годовых».
