Artemyev said about the opaque calculation of oil quotes by price agencies
Due to the underestimation of the cost of Russian oil and petroleum products, which occurred due to the opaque calculation of quotes from international pricing agencies, Russia lost a large amount of money. This was announced on Wednesday, December 30, by Igor Artemyev, head of the St. Petersburg Stock Exchange.
According to him, oil quotes from the Russian Federation are calculated by international pricing agencies, which in turn are based on surveys of traders trading the relevant product. According to Artemyev, this is not a transparent method, even though all quotation calculation methods are public.
"I am convinced that back in Soviet times and now Russia has lost not billions, but trillions of dollars by underestimating the value of Russian oil and petroleum products," he said in an interview with Rossiya 24 TV channel.
