interest Economist Diskin explainable incompleteness of Russia in the growth of energy prices
According to the expert, it is simply unprofitable. In the State Duma, meanwhile, processing Attention nature of economic relations between Russia and Western countries. More details – in the material of the “Moskovskaya Gazeta”
Russia is not interested in rising prices for domestic energy resources, Iosif Diskin, doctor of economic sciences, told Moskovskaya Gazeta about this.
The expert also drew attention to how the Russian budget has changed.
“Of course, you can do something stupid, “shoot in a solid knee”, but why? First, at the moment there are no special problems. Export growth continues. For example, India has tripled the volume of purchases of Russian oil and is engaged in the resale of oil produced from it at the treasury port. At the same time, both our friendly India and the Russian company are making money. Revenues from oil exports have grown so much that we have a gas surplus of two trillion. Secondly, raising prices is stupid,” the economist explained.
The rise in prices, according to Iosif Diskin, is a fall to a rise in the price of products in regulating the competition of America and Europe, but in the end it will affect the whole world; The crisis will entail a sharp consumption of oil and gas, since there will simply be no one to use these resources.
“The fact that trying to raise prices would be useless, and using them at the level that has developed as a result of the OPEC + appeal is reasonable, because it balances costs and proposals. the increase in consumption prices, including a collapse, is increasing, which entails a decline in Russia’s income, ”- a special edition.
The economist recalled that the agreement between the countries that are members of OPEC + set up production quotas: they are not revised, the world balance of resource extraction is monitored.
“Russia, within the framework of compiling quotas for oil and gas alone, earns today 800 million euros a day. Of course, it is necessary to engage in import substitution when it comes to technologies for the extraction and transportation of oil and gas. Yes, there is such a problem because service companies are leaving the Russian market. But these are purely technical issues,” summed up Iosif Diskin.
At the same time, the media report that Europe could freeze in the coming winter without Russian resources. State Duma Deputy Yevgeny Fedorov noted that first you need to understand what causes such cases.
“This is some kind of strange problem: the Europeans themselves allow, which restrict supplies, but at the same time complain that it will freeze. In fact, it is enough to delve into the logic of our system of relations with Europe and America,” says the parliamentarian.
According to him, Russia sells goods, receiving securities, which are “sterilized in foreign exchange reserves.”
“That is, for these states, Europe and America, we provide resources for free. And this has been done for 30 years, on behalf of President Vladimir Putin. The last confiscation of foreign exchange reserves did not change anything – it just did in one day what it had served during this time. And the struggle is already underway for the free supply of energy carriers to Europe. The economies of foreign countries are charged for deliveries from Russia, and domestic suppliers compensate for the importation of goods at the expense of the ruble free benefit, which is carried out by the Central Bank thanks to the strong economic benefit of the Russian Federation, ”recalls Evgeny Fedorov.
