Shulginov's statement was published on the Telegram channel of the Ministry of Energy.

“The current growth in the exchange wholesale prices for gasoline will not have a significant impact on the dynamics of the retail price at filling stations for the end consumer,” he said.

Shulginov also announced the possibility of starting the process of banning the export of gasoline next week if exchange prices remain at their current record levels.

According to him, “the issue of signing agreements with oil companies regulating the volumes and levels of prices in the wholesale link, and increasing exchange standards to 15% can also be considered”.

Earlier, the price of AI-95 gasoline on the exchange for the first time exceeded 60 thousand rubles per ton.
