据路透社9月4日开罗报道,一名高级政府官员周二告诉路透社，埃及已经与两家全球银行签订了合同，以对冲全球油价的波动。
埃及在其2018-2019年全年预算中估计平均油价为每桶67美元，而布伦特原油的当前价格为每桶79美元。
这位不愿透露姓名的官员表示:“我们已与两家国际银行签署了针对全球油价波动的保险合同。”“但我们还没有决定保险什么时候开始。”这位官员说，但他没有透露这些银行的名字。
今年4月，英国财政部估计，每桶油价上涨1美元，将产生约40亿英镑的负面影响，相当于GDP的0.08%。
2018-2019年度的总目标赤字为4385.94亿英镑(245亿美元)，占8.4%，与之相比2017-2018年度的目标赤字为4310.81亿英镑，占9.8%。
