Russia suspends publishing monthly fuel stats
8/28/2024 12:00:00 PM
Russia's state statistics service Rosstat said on Wednesday it was suspending publication of oil products output data, citing a government decision.
The agency will no longer provide monthly output data for diesel, fuel oil, propane and butane, coke and semi-coke of coal, or stable gas condensate.
Russia's energy ministry stopped publishing gasoline output statistics in late May in order to safeguard "informational safety" of the oil product market.
In its latest comment, the ministry said Rosstat's statistics on motor fuel production "can be used for unjustified pressure on the market," Interfax news agency reported.
