A price of $60 a barrel would create severe problems for Russia in particular. President Vladimir Putin would no longer be able to maintain the transfer programs that currently sustain his popular support.
石油价格的进一步下跌可能造成重大地缘政治反响。如果油价跌至60美元/桶，俄罗斯将面临特别严重的问题。俄总统普京将不再能够继续实施目前维持着其公共支持率的转移支付项目。伊朗和委内瑞拉也面临类似的后果。
