This was announced by the government at the end of the strategic session on the situation on the oil products market, which was chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak.

“In terms of motor fuels, it was decided to continue monitoring the situation on the fuel market, including in its exchange link, to consider the feasibility of further increasing the exchange rates for gasoline and diesel fuel by 1% for each of their types,” they said.

On behalf of Novak, an additional analysis of the operation of the fuel damper for gasoline and diesel fuel will also be carried out, and the feasibility of adjusting it for 2022 will also be considered.
