Platts discontinues publication of Russia reduced crude export duty

S&P Global Platts has discontinued its publication of Russia reduced crude export duty as of March 12, 2021.

The discontinuation affects the following symbols: AAVVF00 and AAVVG00, as well as the fixed pages 1106 and 1226.

The discontinuation follows a change in Russia's tax policy as a result of which special tax rates for some crude blends that were enjoying more favorable tax conditions have been removed.
