“If the global economy faces serious problems, they will also hurt Russia, but earlier they would have hooked us much more,” Oreshkina quotes TASS.

He noted that the oil price of $ 60 per barrel is a level that allows you to calmly invest in new projects.

Oreshkin added that at a price of $ 40 per barrel, the development of new projects will become more difficult, but even at that price, "we will not be under serious pressure on the financial market and domestic economy."

Earlier, the head of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia Maxim Oreshkin said that the agency lowered the forecast for the growth of real incomes of Russians from 1% to 0.1% in 2019.
