According to the economics expert José Roberto Acosta, the rise of the barrel of Brent oil that exceeded 70 dollars this Tuesday, it favors both Ecopetrol’s finances and those of ordinary citizens.
“At the macro level, the Government via Ecopetrol, will receive more profits, as well as the nearly 13 thousand shareholders of the company that will receive a good dividend and at the micro level, to the ordinary citizen because the price of the gasoline that goes hand in hand with the barrel of oil and the dollar “, the analyst explained.
However, he warned that Once the tension between the countries is regularized, it will return to 65 dollars a barrel.
“This is not bad at all, because We are not going to see in the country from now on a price below 65 dollars a barrel, then crude oil exports will continue to be favorable for the country“Acosta said.
Investors at international level are still pending the evolution of the confrontation between Iran and the United States, which may affect the supply of crude oil from Middle East.
