OIL PRODUCTS

Russia may introduce quotas on fuel exports if the ban does not succeed in bringing down prices according to Deputy Minister Alexander Novak.

  • “If the situation does not change, tough regulatory measures will be taken, comparable to those in place on the fertilizer market," Novak said
  • "As a result of the ban on the export of gasoline and diesel fuel, we saw a decrease in prices on the exchange. We expect a reduction in these prices to be transmitted to the small wholesale and retail segments, as well as to agricultural producers," Novak was quoted as saying.
  • "Price increases are unacceptable. If the situation does not change, strict regulatory measures will be taken, comparable to those in force on the fertilizer market," he added.
  • "Retail price reductions should happen soon," he added.
