‼️ Russia: “The Ministry of Energy has closed statistics on the production of petroleum products”

These were previously displayed on Industrial Production report that was released monthly.

I’ll explain

kommersant.ru/doc/6920662

Image
Here is the link to Rostat Report “ABOUT INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION
IN JANUARY-JULY 2024” that was released today.

rosstat.gov.ru/storage/mediab…
Image
If we scroll down, we see a general category remains for “production of coke and petroleum products”

Note: Coke here likely refers to Petroleum Coke sometimes called petcoke that is by byproduct of a refinery coker processing unit. (Coking coal is something else) Image
After that there is a table titled “Release of the most important types of products”

This the table where the change is located. (It’s located further down) Image
To more easily show what is missing, I’m going to compare this to the previous months report (left) compare to this months (right)

I’ve drawn a red box around the categories that have been excluded in the new report.

rosstat.gov.ru/storage/mediab…

Image
Image
The categories that are now missing are

👉 Diesel Fuel
👉 Straight Gasoline
👉 Fuel Oil
👉 Liquid propane and butane
👉 Gas condensate Image
This continues the Russian government’s trend of hiding a variety of data from the public.

In May other statistics related to fuel production was hidden.

For example, this report provided weekly stats on gasoline & diesel production. Not any more.

rosstat.gov.ru/storage/mediab…

It is worth noting that news has leaked of lying on the part of Russia and the oil refinery.

For example, lying about getting a unit up and running
Or Oil refineries completing contracts for supply fuel that they KNOW they won’t be able to fulfill in order to make their sales numbers look better.
In general, Russia often hides things because they’re about to get caught in a lie, or they don’t want anyone to know the truth.

They aren’t hiding it because things are going well.

Just a reminder: when the press conference is over, the above link may not work anymore and the recording of the press conference may be posted elsewhere.

It’s that time again…

WELCOME TO RUSSIAN CENTRAL BANK MEETING WEEK

And this one might be an exciting one.

Current Key Rate: 17%

And there’s a real possibility that it might go UP
The Ministry of Finance put out a quiet Press Release on Friday afternoon which means that the Central Bank will probably be unable to talk about it until AFTER the meeting. (Sneaky)

And as far as I can tell, no major news outlets have picked it up yet.
The Ministry of Finance announced they were creating 5 new bonds totaling 4.25 Trillion Rubles.

3 are Constant Coupon Bonds, all of which have higher coupon rates that any of their existing Constant Coupon Bond Image

Of course…

The electronic budget system shows a 6.24 trillion ruble deficit as of 15 August 2025 Image
The Russian Treasury reported a 397.8 billion rubles deficit on Regional budgets for just the first 6 months of 2025. Which is massive

And it’s getting worse.

These budgets pay for bonuses on military contracts, as well as everything else, like schools & hospitals.
The Kuzbass Region recently tried to get loans and was unable to even receive an offer of a loan for the last 1 billion they were looking for.

The Russian Ministry of Finance has already signaled that they will need to adjust the 2025 Budget again.

I’ve been looking through various Russian publications, and I just don’t feel like there’s much optimism in them after this rate cut.
One thing that repeatedly comes up is that the ruble is overvalued.

Everyone is holding their breath waiting for it to weaken.

Another thing that I don’t think enough people realize, is that there are capital controls already in place and requirements for businesses to sell a certain portion of their foreign exchange earnings Image
