Economists Pyotr Sidorov and Christian Vetoshki estimated that the size of the NWF after the Ministry of Finance bought a controlling stake in Sberbank from the Central Bank is about $ 120 billion, and the liquid part is equivalent to about 9 trillion rubles.
“With Urals, $ 15 each will be enough to cover the deficit of oil and gas revenues for a little over two years,” the forecast says.
At the same time, as analysts note, this period may approach six years at a Urals cost of $ 30.
Earlier, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said that by the end of 2020, the fund will have 7 trillion rubles.
According to him, this is enough to fulfill budgetary obligations until 2024, even if current oil prices are maintained.
