据道琼斯3月30日消息,Energy Aspects公司石油分析师们表示,海湾国家的工业部门或将成为石油补贴改革的受影响最为严重的部门。石油成本的增加将减少工业部门的利润,可能导致工业产量的减少。消费者受影响的程度较小,因为即便补贴削减,公共领域的价格仍然较低。这意味着个人的消费不太可能下降。分析师们表示,虽然现在还不清楚补贴是否会进一步削减,但是公众反对能源价格上涨的声音较弱。

Gulf Subsides Cuts to Hit Industrial Sector
The industrial sector in the Gulf States is likely to be the most impacted by oil subsidies reform, according to oil analysts Energy Aspects. Larger costs for oil will decrease margins, possibly reducing industrial production. Consumers are less likely to be affected because even though subsidies have been reduced, outright prices for the public remain low. This means individual consumption is unlikely to fall. It's unclear whether there will be further subsidies cuts, but public opposition to rising energy prices has been minimal, according to the analysts.
