Russia has enough reserves to withstand the turmoil in energy markets and is ready to fulfill all social commitments to sustain the budget and economy, said Russian President Vladimir Putin.
–
“We’re considering all the scenarios, including the so-called catastrophic fall of prices for energy resources, which is quite possible, and we admit it,” Putin said in an interview to TASS ahead of the G20 summit in Australia.
–
He said that all key bodies like the Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Finance, and the government are busy calculating economic development in each of these scenarios.
–
The president’s comment comes at a time when the oil price is dipping below $80/bbl, an important benchmark below which production becomes unprofitable for Russia and most OPEC countries.
