Oil prices will go up, but the United States can radically change the forecast – the world Bank
On the world market will rise in price of oil. In 2018 the average price of a barrel will be $ 60 USA.
However, it will be possible in the case of reducing production of “black gold” (OPEC, Russia and other countries) and return to the previous indicators. This forecast was voiced by the world Bank, reports TASS.
