Payments to Russian oil companies from the fuel buffer budget for October may be reduced by about 45 billion rubles, or 11%, writes Kommersant, citing analysts' estimates. The decrease is due to a 4-10% decrease in the prices of export alternatives to AI-92 gasoline and diesel fuel in the northwest ports for the first time since June. According to the FAS, the cost of the export alternative AI-92 decreased by 9.7% during the month, to 114.42 thousand rubles per ton, and diesel fuel - by 4.3%, to 140.99 thousand rubles per ton.
