The drop in payments to oil workers for October may drop by 11%.
The export alternative AI-92 decreased in price during the month by 9.7%, to 114.4 thousand rubles per ton, diesel - by 4.3%, to 141 thousand rubles. According to analysts, oil workers will receive about 370 billion rubles in October compared to 415 billion rubles in September.
The discounter compensates the companies for the difference between the price of the fuel and the export to the local market. If the wholesale prices of AI-92 and diesel exceed the indicative prices by 20% and 30%, the payments will be reset to zero. The government is discussing a moratorium on resetting - it was already in effect from October 2025 to May 2026, but no decision has yet been made.
Do you think the freeze will be reinstated?
- Yes, it will support the oil workers.
- לא, התקציב צריך כסף
