????通訊員 據(jù)今日油價3月1日報道，本周早些時候，國有石油集團巴西石油公司（Petrobras）首席執(zhí)行官離職，專家擔心進一步的干預可能會對該國的石油行業(yè)造成較大影響。

????巴西石油公司首席執(zhí)行官Roberto Castello Blanco表示:“如果你想要一個市場經(jīng)濟，你必須有一個市場價格。低于這個水平的價格會有很多后果，有些是可以預測的，有些則是無法預測的，但都是負面的。”

????近期巴西國家石油公司的股價暴跌，周一下跌20%，約130億美元。這也對巴西貨幣產(chǎn)生了負面影響，巴西貨幣貶值了2%。

????目前，巴西將其石油價格與國際油價掛鉤，而巴西政府擁有巴西國家石油公司36.8%的股份和50.5%的投票權。

????值得一提的是，對能源部門的更大干預可能阻礙外國在該國的投資。由于受到新冠肺炎疫情的嚴重沖擊，巴西經(jīng)濟前景堪憂。

????Castello Blanco為巴西國家石油公司在國內(nèi)外都贏得了青睞，減少了公司的債務，增強了獨立性，并使該公司對印度等不斷增長的石油市場具有吸引力。

????Brazil’s Oil Industry Shakeup Could Be Devastating For Its Economy

????Following the leaving of the CEO of Brazil’s state-controlled oil group Petrobras earlier this week, experts fear what greater intervention might do to the country’s oil industry.

????President Bolsonaro quickly replaced Castello Blanco with former Defence Minister Joaquim Silva e Luna, who has no previous experience in the industry. However, the outspoken ex-CEO is hitting back, warning that a policy of state intervention could put artificial limits on the price of fuel. Castello Blanco explained, “If you want to have a market economy, you have to have a market price. Prices below have many consequences, some predictable and others unpredictable, but all negative,”.

????Petrobras stocks plummeted, losing 20 percent of their value on Monday, around $13 billion. This also had a negative effect on Brazil’s currency, which decreased in value by 2 percent.

????At present, Brazil pegs its oil to international rates, however as the state has a 36.8 percent stake in Petrobras, and 50.5 of the voting rights.

????Greater intervention in the energy sector could discourage foreign investment in the country. Having been hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic, this is a worrying prospect for Brazil’s economy.

????Castello Blanco had won national and international favour for Petrobras, reducing the company’s debt, pushing for greater independence, and making the company attractive to growing oil markets such as India. We are yet to see if Silva e Luna will garner the same respect.
