The scale of dependence of the Russian budget on oil

11
Data on the equity participation of a particular industry in filling the budget of the Russian Federation has long been an object of interest and numerous speculations.



So edition RBC decided to make its own calculations, and on their basis it came to the conclusion that a third of all revenues to the Russian budget is provided by oil and gas companies.

According to experts of the publication, these companies fill the country's budget by 17% more than indicated in the report of the Ministry of Finance.

According to RBC, the sum of all revenues from oil and gas companies amounted to 10,567 trillion rubles, while the Ministry of Finance reports about 9 trillion rubles.

The financial department did not agree with the publication’s data and reported that the difference in numbers was due to the different methodology used for the assessment.

The Ministry made its calculations based on the rule that all additional oil revenues, if its value exceeds $ 40 per barrel, are sent to replenish reserves.

At the same time, the representative of the Ministry of Finance noted that the methodology used by the RBC publication was not applicable to the Ministry, as it would lead to a number of problems, including tax reporting.

Recall that according to the statement of the Minister of Energy, Alexander Novak, the most optimal for Russia is the range of oil prices from 55 to 65 dollars per barrel.

    The most optimal for Russia is the range of oil prices from 55 to 65 dollars per barrel.

    Maybe I don’t understand what, but why is this range considered the optimal one - to target gasoline prices within the Russian Federation, or what? Like, if a barrel will cost from 550 to 650 dollars, then gas will be at 400 rubles per liter, because it will be sold all over the hill in order to maximize profits?
    What's wrong with the fact that the irreplaceable "national heritage" will cost dearly - the people will heal better and stop taking loans at the current predatory% ??

      55-65 is the limit of the loss ratio of shale gas and other oil, i.e., if the price is, for example, 100 bucks, then everyone will throw a bunch of hydrocarbons onto the market, push Russia out of the market, and then bring it down (as stated, for example , Arab princes are oilmen).

      And gasoline will always go up in price - there is a bunch of interviews that announce the desire of the owners of life to take the maximum from the domestic market, regardless of external prices.

        Well, let's mothball our oil for 100 years until the competitors' reserves are depleted, and acquire a monopoly position in the market. If I'm not mistaken, the budget replenishment from oil and gas is "only" 30% - we will sell other products with high added value for this percentage. And under this brand and the long-promised "25 million new, high-tech jobs" will appear. Yes, it will take a long time, but there will be a coherent economic strategy, and not just "inflation targeting".

          Sorry, how many lives do you have left? You conserve your share of stocks, but now I need to raise children - grandchildren. You just have to sell now if you have

          other products with high added value.

          and not hide it. Without the name, your fabrications are worthless.

            One, like yours. But you are proposing to just go with the flow, thereby determining the same future for your children - grandchildren. I agree to endure for the sake of their future, gradually reducing oil and gas production with a parallel increase in the export of technological products. Yes, this will take 20-30 years, but only then the presidential decree on "getting into the top 5 economies of the world" will be supported by a real development strategy, and the grandchildren will sell oil at $ 500 per barrel.

              I agree to tolerate for the sake of their future.

              If you do not sell resources, then the future of the Russian Federation is deplorable. The head of the Accounts Chamber Kudrin clearly stated that the share of oil and gas in the budget of 2018 = 46,3%

              We simply have nothing to maintain and defend such a territory.

                Just like children. You will endure - Chubais will not even say thank you - everyone will plunder.

                In any case, you do not get rent from gas and oil ...

    The scale of dependence of the Russian budget on oil

    Well, well ... - Everything belongs to oil ... - But Russia itself is among quicksand and stunted palms ... - And on the map it can be seen with a magnifier ...
    - And you can also add that too many people have accumulated in Russia ... - And the Russian people who have nothing to do with the production and transportation of oil ... is already an "extra people" ... - And that will be enough to "leave" in Russia as many people as is necessary for ... for ... for ... servicing the "oil pump" ... - The rest of everything becomes just "secondary" ...
    - And they are constantly mumbling that the Russian people today "do not want to multiply" ...
    - Well .. what else can I add ...
    - And you can add that if tomorrow (which is quite likely) a new type of energy is discovered and mastered that is easily accessible to all mankind .. then all this mankind can continue its path into the future without ... without ... without ... the Russian people ...
    - Yes, that's how it is ... - all the oil pumps "that give Russia" prosperity "today simply close, and the Russian people will scatter through the forests and swamps, start picking up mushrooms, berries, edible roots (in order to somehow survive ); well, in these swamps, he himself will perish ... - As lumberjacks and lumberjacks once perished in Western Europe ... - Sadly ...

    RBC is an opposition office and its data is biased. And on the topic, any country is trading on the international market. There is no point in breeding juvanin on this occasion.

      Well, catch on a lie! You can not? RBC says that a third of the budget is oil and gas ?! And the head of the Accounts Chamber, according to the results of 2018, called the figure 46,3% - the share of the oil and gas component in the budget of the Russian Federation for 2018.

      By your logic, is his department even more oppositional than RBC? But Putin, 19 years ago, announced his departure from oil dependence. And where?

        One will ask so many questions that a thousand wise men will not answer.

        Catching and proving is an empty lesson. Any country depends on foreign trade, and the essence of the matter is what to trade. There is such an opportunity, well, it's silly not to use it. And if, for example, the grain trade comes first, then the opposition will already blame the state for depending on the grain?
