伊拉克三月份石油收入下降了40％

据能源世界网4月2日报道，伊拉克政府宣布，由于疫情影响以及俄罗斯与沙特之间的价格战，需求直线下降，伊拉克的原油收入上个月下降了40％。

Efe新闻援引伊拉克石油部发言人伊萨姆·吉哈德（Essam Jihad）周三的话称，伊拉克3月出口了超过1.05亿桶的石油，比上个月增加了近700万桶。

然而，原油价格从2月份的51.374美元跌至28.436美元，导致收入减少了40％。

根据官方数据显示，石油出口占伊拉克收入的90％。

除了疫情影响和随后在全球范围内采取的应对措施所带来的不确定性外，沙特与俄罗斯之间的争端也加速了价格下跌。

Iraqs crude oil income fell by 40 per cent last month, the government announced, as demand plummets amid the global coronavirus pandemic and a pricing war between Russia and Saudi Arabia.

Iraq exported over 105 million barrels in March, nearly seven million more than the previous month, Efe news quoted Essam Jihad, the spokesperson for the country's Oil Ministry, as saying>The price of crude, however, fell to $28.436 compared to $51.374 in February, triggering a 40 per cent loss in revenue.

According to the official figures, oil exports make up 90 per cent of Iraq's income.

In addition to the uncertainty generated by the coronavirus crisis and the subsequent measures imposed around the globe to tackle the pandemic, a dispute between Saudi Arabia and Russia has accelerated the fall in prices.
