Siluanov said the diesel deal would support the Russian balance of payments

Agreements with the United States, which opened up the possibility of exporting Russian diesel fuel to world markets, will support the balance of payments of the Russian Federation, and bring indirect benefits to the state budget - through tax revenues from oil workers, said Finance Minister Anton Siluanov. "Our companies will have the opportunity to export diesel fuel, receive revenue and currency for it, this is important for our balance of payments and companies, first of all, of course," Siluanov told reporters in the State Duma in response to a request to comment on the benefits of the diesel deal.
