Russian Federation’s oil revenues are approaching a minimum

American penalties have a significant impact on the Russian economy. In particular, lowering oil and gas revenues have become a significant problem for the Russians, depending on these resources to supply government departments. Bloomberg reported it.

In January 2025, Russian oil companies paid 572.6 billion rubles of taxes, which barely changed compared to December (571.2 billion rubles). And this is, at least last year.

In contrast to the decrease in oil revenues, gas revenue increased by 24% due to increased production and exporting. In total, the Russian budget received 789 billion rubles from oil and gas.

However, the new US punishment against companies such as Surgutneftegaz And Gazprom oilAs well as the “shadow” tanks of the Russian Federation may take more funds from the Russian budget.

Experts estimate these losses in the volume of up to 2 trillion. Rubles, 18% of oil and gas fees planned for this year.

As a result of the penalties, Russian oil and gas oil companies are forced to offer a huge discount on their oil. Until February 2025, each Urals barrel was sold for $ 16 cheaper than Brent, which is a high record.

New penalties may “reduce Russia’s income, both in the budget and in terms of trade balance,” experts are convinced. As a result, the Russian Federation economy can lose from 10% to 20% of foreign exchange revenues for oil sale, or $ 10-20 billion per year.

As reported, Great Britain imposed penalties on 30 tankers from Russia’s “Shadow Fleet” carrying oil and oil products in billions -billions of pounds. We are talking about the largest package of penalties of this type.
