MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said it might be worth more actively discussing restricting output if oil prices fell below $50 per barrel, Russia's RIA news agency quoted him as saying on Thursday.

"In my view, current prices at around $50 are normal prices. If prices fall, we can engage more actively in this issue," Novak said in response to a question whether he thought that output restrictions were expedient.
