EU Economic Commissioner Dombrovskis: G7 ministers discussed further EU energy sanctions on Russia

Source Fxstreet

The Group of 7 (G7) finance leaders wrapped up its most recent summit on Thursday, with EU Economic Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis characterizing the talks as “positive and successful,” particularly in advancing support for Ukraine and addressing global economic imbalances.

Key among the discussions was a fresh push on sanctions targeting Russia. Dombrovskis revealed that G7 ministers proposed adjustments to the existing oil price cap on Russian crude, with a new suggested level of $50 per barrel. However, central bank policymakers at the meeting stopped just short of going too far into discussions of new sanctions, although several ideas about energy-related restrictions were floated as potential topics for future discussion.
