There is a positive trend in the Russian fuel market, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said at a meeting with government members.

“We see positive dynamics in the fuel market, which was achieved thanks to the joint efforts of federal and regional authorities, as well as industry companies,” Novak said.

The meeting also announced data on increasing the production of petroleum products and the formation of fuel reserves.

During the meeting, the regional authorities presented data on fuel supplies, petrol stations and changes in prices for petroleum products.

The participants separately considered the situation in the Krasnoyarsk and Stavropol territories, Penza, Rostov, Ulyanovsk and Omsk regions, the republics of Karelia and Bashkortostan.

In addition, the meeting discussed the updating of data in the state information system of the fuel and energy complex. The system allows you to track fuel reserves in the regions, monitor the operation of the filling infrastructure and quickly take measures to stabilize the situation on the domestic market.

At the Russian Energy Week on October 14, Novak reported an improvement in the situation on the fuel market after the resumption of work of a number of oil refineries.

In early October, the Deputy Prime Minister reported a slight shortage of gasoline with sufficient reserves of diesel fuel. The authorities took steps to address the shortage and planned to resume exports once the market rebalanced.
