Grezlov nodded without hesitation, "Misha is very confident, and I trust him. After all, in the energy industry, he's the expert. Moreover, his predictions have never missed the mark."
Gavriil added, "In this regard, Misha is trustworthy. His insight has always been sharp. It seems that next year, the international prices for crude oil and natural gas will rise, and if he dares to make such a judgment, there must be a basis for it."
Puding nodded slightly and stopped questioning.
Obviously, Wang Ye, as the Chairman of Yukos Group and a major shareholder of Russian Gas Industry Group, surely understood the dynamics of the energy market far better than the average person and had access to more information.
Since he pointed out that the prices of crude oil and natural gas would significantly increase next year, it should be so.
As for the Government's financial revenue forecast, it might be too conservative!
