MOSCOW, July 4 - PRIME. The rise in fuel prices at Russian gas stations is attributed to the recovery of the automotive market in the country, as well as seasonal demand growth, according to Sergey Tereshkin, CEO of the petroleum products marketplace "Open Oil Market" (a Skolkovo resident).

According to Rosstat data, the average retail price of gasoline increased by 0.5% from June 24 to July 1, reaching 56.09 rubles per liter, while diesel fuel prices rose by 0.19% to 65.84 rubles per liter. Overall weekly inflation in the country from June 25 to July 1 amounted to 0.66%. The last time such a growth rate was recorded was on January 9, when Rosstat published data for the two holiday weeks at the turn of 2023-2024.

"In the coming weeks, the current rate of retail fuel price growth will continue. On the one hand, seasonal demand growth coincides with the overall recovery of the automotive market. On the other hand, the fuel retail market will be indirectly affected by the general acceleration of prices in the economy, which is largely driven by increased government spending," the expert told RIA Novosti.

Tereshkin believes that it will take about six more months to fully reach pre-crisis sales levels of new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, sales of new passenger cars in Russia in June rose by 50% year-on-year to 122,800 units. The overall automotive market, including passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, trucks, and buses, also showed positive dynamics. In June, the total sales figure reached 145,500 units (a 39% increase year-on-year).

Last week, the Russian government extended the permission to export gasoline until August. Earlier, on March 1, the government had imposed a six-month ban on the export of gasoline abroad, except to EAEU countries. However, at the end of May, the ban was suspended, with reports indicating that it was set to resume on July 1. Authorities had suggested that the lifting of restrictions might be extended depending on the market situation.

Expert Tereshkin: Diesel Fuel Prices in Russia Will Stabilize by December (Prime Economic News Agency)

In the article "Russians Informed When Diesel Prices Will Stabilize in Russia," Sergey Tereshkin, General Director of the "Open Oil Market" petroleum products marketplace, predicts that diesel fuel prices will stabilize by December 2024. He attributes the current price increase to seasonal factors, such as the transition to winter diesel fuel and a rise in automotive freight transportation. According to Rosstat, freight turnover in the automotive sector increased by 7.7% over nine months, which also affects the demand and cost of diesel fuel. Tereshkin notes that prices will stabilize once the transitional period ends.
A commentary with a forecast of budget revenues from oil and gas trade for Vedomosti.

In the article "What Will Happen to Oil and Gas Revenues in the Budget by the End of the Year," Sergey Tereshkin, founder and CEO of OPEN OIL MARKET, analyzes the dynamics of oil and gas revenues in Russia's federal budget for October 2024. He notes that revenues amounted to 1.2 trillion rubles, which is 55% higher than in September but 25% lower compared to October of last year. The main driver of revenue growth was an increase in collections under the Additional Income Tax (AIT), which reached 491.6 billion rubles in October. Tereshkin also points to the reduction in subsidies for oil refineries, which contributed to the increase in budget revenues.

According to his forecast, the share of oil and gas revenues in the federal budget for 2024 will remain around 31.7%, but it may decrease to less than 30% next year due to an increase in the base corporate tax rate and a potential drop in oil prices amid rising production in OPEC+ countries.
