The expected volume of lost oil and gas revenues of the federal budget is projected in May 2025 in the amount of 12.3 billion rubles. This was announced by the Russian Ministry of Finance.
The total deviation of the actually received oil and gas revenues from the expected monthly volume of oil and gas revenues and the estimate of the base monthly volume of oil and gas revenues from the base monthly volume of oil and gas revenues by the end of April 2025 amounted to 53.9 billion rubles. The positive adjustment was mainly due to an increase in the actual tax receipts on additional income from the extraction of hydrocarbons compared with the forecast values.
Thus, the total amount of funds allocated for the purchase of foreign currency and gold is 41.6 billion rubles. The operations will be conducted from May 13, 2025 to June 5, 2025, respectively, the daily volume of purchases of foreign currency and gold will amount to 2.3 billion rubles.
