OREANDA-NEWS The Ministry of Energy allows new restrictions on the export of gasoline from Russia. This was stated by the first deputy head of the Ministry of Energy Pavel Sorokin, quoted by Interfax.

According to the representative of the department, such measures can be taken to saturate the domestic market.

"All necessary measures will be taken to ensure that the market is fully secured. If additional export restrictions are required, then restrictions can also be adopted," he explained.

The exchange price of gasoline continues to update historical records, and it is also becoming more expensive at gas stations. At the same time, Russia currently has a ban on gasoline exports, including for manufacturers. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak has already instructed to work out long-term measures to stabilize fuel prices in the wholesale sector and continue monitoring gas station margins. The FAS expects prices to stabilize after market saturation.

Vitaly Korolev, Deputy Head of the Federal Antimonopoly Service, has already allowed the extension of the total ban on the export of gasoline from Russia, which is currently in effect until the end of September.
