09:30; 11 August 2026 year

### Russian Government Extends Reduced Mandatory Quota for Gasoline Sales on Exchanges The Russian government has extended the reduced mandatory quota for gasoline sales on exchanges, according to a new cabinet decree. The measure will keep the quota at 10% until December 31, 2026. The government explained that the decision aims to maintain stability in the domestic fuel market and ensure predictable fuel supplies. Previously, the reduced quota was set to expire on September 30, 2026. Now, it has been extended for an additional three months, through the end of the year. Additionally, the new rules expand the list of transactions that can be counted toward meeting the exchange sales requirements for gasoline and diesel fuel. Specifically, companies will be allowed to include not only exchange transactions but also fuel sold through targeted exchange deals and certain over-the-counter contracts. These include deliveries to end consumers such as agricultural producers, companies involved in northern deliveries, construction firms, and Russian Railways (RZD). The government believes that extending the current parameters will help maintain a balance in the domestic fuel market and ensure stable supply to key sectors of the economy.
