on 1 April ceases to operate the OPEC agreement regarding the reduction of oil production. The decision on cancellation of the transaction in early March brought down the price of oil and exchange rates. The parties were unable to agree on the extension of the agreement. From 1 April the cartel countries and the extended group OPEC+ have the right to start increasing production. However, from 1 April in Russia will begin to apply tax exemptions to companies developing new fields and production of hydrocarbons in the Arctic.
Comments investment strategist “BKS the Prime Minister” Alexander Bakhtin: “According to our estimates, the oil market in the foreseeable future will remain under extreme pressure, caused by the imbalance of supply and demand. Now the supply exceeds demand by 10-15 million barrels a day.
With the end of the official actions of OPEC Pact+ price confrontation exporters will increase and will further increase the pressure on the oil quotes. We expect that in April oil prices may short-term be reduced below the level of 20$ per barrel. Arctic projects of Russia for decades to come, given the depletion of oil fields in Siberia. Oil prices may be low for several months, but then will rise as the recovery of demand after the pandemic.

In such action the regulator has gone to meet the demand for mortgages, against the background of falling of the ruble and increase in mortgage rates.

In addition, in conditions of massive pressure “viral” factor on the economy to the welfare of the population also will suffer significant damage. Hardly giving people free access to debt Finance. According to our estimates, the rate of growth of the mortgage portfolio of banks this year could slow to 10% and below”.

SBP allows to transfer the recipient’s phone number, even if the parties have accounts in different banks. Now the system has more than 50 banks and electronic payment services.
