據道瓊斯1月19日消息，歐佩克最新月度報告稱，2016年歐佩克成員國生產的原油平均價格（歐佩克一攬子油價）下跌至40.76美元/桶。這個數字是自2004年以來最低年平均價格，反映出了去年全球石油市場低迷的狀況，尤其是上半年。低油價已經損害了歐佩克很多成員國的經濟，并促使該組織在去年11月底同意減產150萬桶/天。

　　OPEC Crude Price Sank To 12-Year Low In 2016

　　The average price paid for crude produced by members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, known as the OPEC Reference Basket, in 2016 sank to an average of $40.76 a barrel, according to the cartels monthly report. The figure was the lowest yearly average since 2004 and reflects the dire state of the global oil markets last year, particularly in the first six months. The low prices being paid for OPECs crude damaged many members economies, prompting the cartel to agree to cut output by 1.5 million barrels a day in late November.
