*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Sudden oil price movements will dictate the pace of fiscal change in 2019. We had a temporary price spike in 2018, but it didn’t last long enough to generate a significant fiscal response. What it has done is remind fiscal policy-makers that we are not operating in the ‘lower, forever’ world many were predicting a year ago. Fiscal systems must be flexible to accommodate high (US$80+) and low (US$50-) prices going forward. We anticipate five main fiscal themes to develop in 2019.
