Rusia - Veniturile din petrol scad, în pofida majorării cotaţiilor - Economica.net

Russia's energy revenues have dropped by 17% this year despite high Urals crude prices, impacted by Ukrainian attacks and a stronger ruble. Fiscal revenues from oil and gas fell to 5.47 trillion rubles, contributing to a projected 3% GDP deficit. The Urals crude price reached over $92, but production has declined significantly, with August output down by 5.6%. The energy sector faces challenges from drone attacks and reduced loading capacity at Novorossiysk port, leading to fuel shortages. The ruble's appreciation has further affected revenues, which were already at their lowest since 2020 last year.
