油价下跌将使海湾产油国今年损失2750亿美元

 据World Energy News网站11月10日多哈报道，国际货币基金组织（IMF）总裁拉加德日前在多哈表示，由于全球油价大幅下跌，海湾合作委员会（GCC）成员国预计今年的石油出口收入将比去年减少大约2750亿美元。

8日早些时候，拉加德访问了卡塔尔并出席了在多哈举行的海湾合作委员会财政和经济合作委员会召开的一次会议。

拉加德说：“随着油价自去年年中以来急剧下跌，海湾合作委员会成员国今年的石油出口收入预计比2014年大幅减少2750亿美元。这个地区的财政和经常账户余额正在急剧恶化，而IMF预计的海湾地区今年财政平衡的赤字将占到GDP的12.7%。”

与去年夏天相比，全球油价迄今已下跌了一半。去年夏天布伦特原油的价格还在每桶大约115美元，而目前全球油价徘徊在每桶50美元左右。

Gulf States to Lose Some $275Bln in 2015 Due to Falling Oil Prices

WASHINGTON

Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states’ oil revenues are expected to be lower in 2015 by about $275 billion than in 2014 because of the sharp decline in global oil prices, International Monetary Fund's (IMF) Managing Director Christine Lagarde said Sunday.

Earlier in the day, Lagarde visited Qatar to attend the meeting of the financial and economic cooperation committee of the GCC.

“With oil prices having declined sharply since mid-2014, export revenues are expected to be nearly $275 billion lower in 2015 than in 2014. The fiscal and current account balances in the region are deteriorating sharply, with the fiscal balance projected by the IMF to be in a deficit of 12.7 percent of GDP in 2015,” Lagarde said.

Global oil prices have halved compared to the summer of 2014 levels, when the price of Brent crude stood at about $115 per barrel. At present, oil prices are hovering around $50 per barrel.
