questions raised by this report, will saudi arabia come to the market again in 2016 to raise capital? we saw about $4 billion in financing raised from the market this year, but back in october s&p cut saudi's rating to negative because of this oil price drop. the bottom line here, saudi arabia is being squeezed by these prices. if they along with some of the other opec countries maintain their stance that they will weather the storm while they try to maintain their market share, it's not to say that it won't be painful. drastic spending cuts will be necessary and innovative ways will be needed to bring more cash into the system. for "nightly business report" i'm jackie deangelis. >> halima croft joins us now to talk more about saudi arabia's budget shortfall and whether or not we could see more destabilization in that region because of that and the drop of oil. she is the global head of commodity strategy at rbc capital markets. she focuses on geopolitics and energy, which means you have been a very busy lady lately. >> yes. >> so i guess the question we really posed in the intro, sau

why is saudi arabia doing that? >> well, i think for different reasons. first and most, saudi, by reducing their prices, the demand hopefully would raise. and united states demand gasoline market would be also important for saudis. we see that how the transportation system remove from the fossil fuels to other renewable sources of energy. also, the expansion of u.s. crude oil production and generally nonopaque production. i don't see why saudis, they don't see any reason to give back the market access to iran, the market to iran. saudi and kuwait are substituting oil production drop of sanction since 2012 sanctions. and i don't see any reason for saudis politically and also marketwise to lose this market access. and something that is important is how opec is functional in the next decade or next few years. just the way we see iraq is signing the contract and its upstream energy industry. and new oil investment would allow companies to increase more production. because the price are so low, they have to increase their production to make their money back. so

i want to give it a little bit to saudi arabia. saudi arabia has continue to ramp up production even as the price of oil has gone down. i think they are experiencing a fiscal crisis over their lack of revenue. i have a report. says in from the imf order for saudi arabia to ,alance their budget in 2015 the price of oil would have to be $106. i am are reserves, and sure they are drawing on them as we speak. , and i supportt ,il exports from this country do you anticipate this will bring about, in a country such as saudi arabia, and instability that could make the country more vulnerable to isis or a terrorist group to be able to come in and -- i do not want to say take over -- but become a part of that. do you have an opinion on the? saudi arabia has substantial reserves and can run a deficit for long periods of time. when i have worked in iraq and qatar, there is a waste in government expenditures in terms of free electricity, low prices for gas. when the iraqis finally did raise gasoline prices from a nickel a gallon to something s

i believe saudi arabia will stick to this position until its foreign reserves run dry. so i don't expect any change at the next opec meeting scheduled for june 2016. saudi arabia will maintain current production levels unless it gets an assurance from russia and mexico as well as from iran and iraq, which are opec major producers, that they will cooperate to manage supply. crude oil prices have fallen to around $35 per barrel. analysts are mixed in their price outlook, whether prices will drop further remain at the current level or bottom out at some point. my view is that prices have fallen too much. i think that next year oil prices will find supply/demand balance at an equilibrium price at $35 to $40 a barrel. they may be trying to drive the price down further to levels seen in 2008 so they can make a profit when prices start rising again. i will certainly not eliminate the possibity of oil prices briefly sinking to the $30 range per barrel. >> here's a look at some of the other business stories we're following. >>> the japanese government says its assessment of the

i see they have looked at if we go on as we are but what you see in places like saudi arabia when thece comes down they take better economic policy measures so they will probably spend less over time and also it's the debt capacity, saudi has not gone really to the capitol markets and borrow and saudi can borrow and i think they can probably weather the storm for several years or so and by about 2017 oil prices will go markedly up because we have seen 20% of investment of international oil companies, about $200 billion being deferred or cancelled and that will work its way through the system. it's ultra long cycle business so about three years or so they won't be able to produce and have not built up the new production and the demand will still be there so by the end of next year prices will pick up and by 2017, 2018 fasten your seat belts they will go really up. >> for some countries though that is a really long time away, thank you so much. palestinian teenagers in the occupied territories live under constant threat of israeli crack down and lack of safety and constant humiliation l
