Oil Prices, Airstrikes Reducing ISIS Revenues

Oil Prices, Airstrikes Reducing ISIS Revenues

Alwaght- Analysts from the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) in London are predicting “medium-term” financial problems for ISIS terrorist group, with reduced oil revenues the primary source of such prediction, Anti War website reports .

"Two or three months ago, people were talking about $2 million or $3 million a day, but now the latest estimates say it’s just $1 million a day," one analyst said of estimates of ISIS terrorist group's oil revenues .

That can be explained on two fronts, with the price of oil having dropped dramatically over the past several months, and Coalition's warplanes destroying a number of the privately-owned refineries in ISIS terrorists' territory .

Oil is only one aspect of ISIS terrorist group’ revenues, however, as they also make money from donations (which are also reportedly down, likely owing to them coming largely from people in oil-rich nations), extortion/taxation, and revenue from grain production .
