The ban on gasoline exports from Russia will be extended until the end of this year, said Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak.
“On the ban on gasoline exports, we also decided at headquarters to extend it for both producers and non-producers. That is, it will be extended until the end of the year,” Interfax quotes the Deputy Prime Minister.
Novak added that the ban on diesel exports will be lifted “as the market recovers” so that factories do not experience difficulties with an oversupply and a decrease in processing volumes.
He emphasized that after the domestic market is secured, it will be important for Russia to export diesel fuel to ensure its plants are fully loaded.
In Russia this summer, there are interruptions in fuel supplies caused by changes in logistics, Novak noted earlier. To improve the situation, the government took a number of measures, including banning the export of gasoline and diesel fuel. Currently, a ban on fuel exports has been introduced until July 31.
