The Institute for Fiscal Studies reported in November 2012 that a geographic share of North Sea oil would more than cover the higher public spending, but warned that oil prices are volatile and that they are drawn from a finite resource.
Institut za fiskalnu politiku izvestio je u novembru 2012. da bi geografski udeo u nafti iz Severnog mora svakako pokrio višu javnu potrošnju, ali je i upozorio da su cene nafte nestabilne i podsetio da se radi o ograničenom potrošnom resursu.
