据路透社11月23日阿尔及尔报道,阿尔及利亚财政部长阿卜德哈曼·本赫尔法23日在阿尔及尔表示,在低油价大幅削减这个欧佩克成员国的经济以后,阿尔及利亚明年的能源收益预计将跌至264亿美元,而外汇储备预计跌至1210亿美元。
这个北非国家是欧洲的一个主要天然气供应国,该国曾表示今年能源收益将下降50%至大约340亿美元。
油气销售占到这个国家预算的60%以及占到这个国家出口的95%。
根据阿尔及利亚2016年预算草案,在原油价格暴跌侵蚀了其收入以后,阿尔及利亚时下正在考虑更高的税收和进口税以及提高有补贴的柴油和电力的价格来帮助弥补这个北非国家的财政赤字。

Algeria sees energy earnings, reserves dropping sharply in 2016
ALGIERS, November 23, 2015
Algeria's energy earnings are forecast to fall to $26.4 billion next year while foreign exchange reserves will dip to $121 billion after low oil prices cut into the Opec nation's economy, Finance Minister Abderrahmane Benkhalfa said.
The North African state, a major gas supplier to Europe, has already said energy earnings will fall by 50 per cent this year to about $34 billion. Oil and gas sales make up 95 per cent of its exports and account for 60 per cent of the country's budget.
Algeria is considering higher taxes, import duties and a hike in subsidised diesel and electricity prices to help cover its deficit after the slump in crude oil prices eroded its revenues, according to a draft of its 2016 budget. -Reuters
