Russian President «Vladimir Putin» he said in an interview with a group of investors in the «Russia calls!» forum held Group «VTB Capital» investment banking in Moscow: «We have to be careful in the future Astaqraouatna, that's why we put our budget very conservatively assuming that the price of oil will remain hovering around $ 50 a barrel. It is no secret that prices while the decline is shrinking investments and then disappear.

Russia is currently the largest oil producer in the world, extracted 10.7 million barrels a day, but it depends on their expenditures on investments late.
