Oman says to trim 2009 spending if sub-$45 oil
Reuters - Sunday, January 4
MUSCAT, Jan 3 - Oman will cut public spending this year if the average oil price slips below the $45 per barrel it budgeted for 2009, the economy minister said on Saturday.
The 6.424 billion Omani rial budget with an estimated shortfall of 0.81 billion rials was approved by the Sultanate's ruler on Thursday.
"If the oil price falls below $45 per barrel then we are going to revise the 2009 budget and cut down the number of projects this year," Ahmad bin Abdul-Nabi Mekki told Reuters on the sidelines of a press conference.
The previous year's budget was also based on a $45 price for the barrel of oil. Brent crude <LCOc1> closed at $46.91 on Friday. (Reporting by Saleh al-Shaibany, writing by Raissa Kasolowsky; editing by Chris Pizzey)
