The Central Bank announced the possibility of a new fall in oil prices

This was reported by TASS with reference to the Central Bank's report on monetary policy.

"Longer and wider than the baseline scenario, the spread of coronavirus in Russia and other countries may lead to the re-introduction of some restrictions or prolonged preservation of the current restrictive measures in the second half of 2020," the document says.

It is clarified that in this case, even the efforts of OPEC + will not be able to keep oil prices within the trajectory laid down in the baseline scenario.

Earlier, Deputy Director of the Institute of National Energy Alexander Frolov assessed the situation with oil prices in an interview with FBA "Economics Today".
