The Russian central bank has issued a warning to the Kremlin regarding the risks of a prolonged low oil price cycle, citing potential actions by the U.S. and OPEC that could flood the oil market, similar to the price collapse of the 1980s that contributed to the Soviet Union's collapse. The bank's concerns, presented to Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, highlight existing economic vulnerabilities, including rising production outside OPEC and high spare capacity within the organization, which could threaten Russia’s economic stability reliant on oil revenue.
