The price of oil in 2019 could grow to $ 100 per barrel. Such conclusions were made by analysts of Bank of America, who linked the rise in prices to the risks of disrupting supplies from Venezuela and Iran, as well as a reduction in world oil reserves. According to experts, the combination of these factors is likely to lead to an increase in prices to $ 90. If OPEC prolongs the agreement on production reduction, and the US sanctions sanctions against Iran, the cost of a barrel of Brent oil will rise to $ 100, reports Bloomberg.. However, Goldman Sachs analysts are confident in the short-term growth of oil prices. In their opinion, prices for Brent crude oil could rise to $ 82.5 per barrel in the coming months. But they believe that it will fall again in 2019. Nevertheless, the Ministry of Finance of Russia expects to increase more than five times the additional oil and gas budget revenues in 2018. According to forecasts, at the planned level of 527.6 billion rubles, they will reach 2.74 trillion rubles, the draft amendments to the draft law on the federal budget for 2018. The project was published on the official portal of draft government regulations. The Finance Ministry is confident that with such additional oil and gas revenues, the country's budget will be able to enter the surplus for the first time since 2011. According to the experts of the department, provided that the total budget revenues amount to 17.03 trillion rubles, and expenditures - 16.6 trillion, the budget deficit of 1.27 trillion rubles, planned initially, will be replaced by a surplus of 440.6 billion rubles.
