据道琼斯2月26日消息,俄罗斯财政部长Anton Siluanov周五表示,如果油价维持低位,那么俄罗斯的预算赤字将超过总统普京设定的上限。
俄罗斯国际文传电讯社报导,在上海举行的G20峰会间隙,Siluanov告诉记者,如果油价保持在平均30美元/桶的水平,那么俄预算赤字将达到GDP的4%。
普京先前要求保持2016年预算赤字不能超过GDP的3%。分析师们表示这一目标很难实现,因为俄罗斯的经济严重依赖于油价,石油是俄罗斯的主要出口产品。

Russia Fin Min: Budget Deficit Will Exceed Ceiling if Oil Price Stays Low-
Russia's budget deficit will exceed a ceiling set by President Vladimir Putin if oil prices remain low, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said Friday.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a summit of the Group of 20 industrial and developing nations in Shanghai, Mr. Siluanov said that the budget deficit could reach 4% of gross domestic product if crude prices average $30 per barrel, Interfax news agency reported.
Mr. Putin had earlier ordered to keep the 2016 budget deficit at no more than 3% of GDP, a target that analysts say is hard to reach given Russia's strong dependence on the prices of oil, the country's key exports.
