SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts discontinues Russian monthly average export duties

S&P Global Platts has discontinued publication of its Russian monthly average oil export duties with effect from February 1, 2018.

The decision follows a proposal note sent on October 3, 2017.

Platts publishes Russian export duties for crude oil and products each day, which apply to forward periods following Russian finance ministry announcements. Platts will continue to publish these rates.

Alongside these, Platts has been calculating monthly averages of the published rates. These averages are now discontinued.

Platts has therefore stopped publishing the following monthly averages: Crude export duty $/mt (AAVVD03), Crude export duty $/bbl (AAVVE03), Reduced crude export duty $/mt (AAVVF03), Reduced crude export duty $/bbl (AAVVG03), Gasoline export duty $/mt (AAVVI03), Diesel export duty $/mt (AAVVK03), and Fuel oil export duty $/mt (AAVVL03).
