Ulyukaev spoke about the government’s plans to sell the Rosneft State Confluence in 2014

The share in Rosneft, belonging to the Russian Federation, can be sold in 2014, said Minister of Economic Development Alexei Ulyukaev. According to him, both Russian and foreign investors show interest in the privatization of the company.

“I believe that, of course, you can complete this deal this year, the privatization plan is standing for 2016, but nothing prevents the end of this deal this year, a good market is now a market for this, we are technically completely ready to do this,” said the head of the Ministry of Economic Development to journalists.

Speaking that there are potential buyers, the minister refused to name specific names and companies. According to the Interfax source, a difficult situation in the economy of the Russian Federation can push the Rosneft package to privatize the Rosneft package, but today the details of the possible sale have not been determined.

According to the privatization plan for 2014-2016, the state is going to reduce the share in Rosneft to 50% plus 1 share. Now the state -owned Rosneftegaz owns 69.5% of the oil production company (the British BP owns other papers). Accordingly, we are talking about the sale of 19.5% of the shares.

First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov previously said that the transaction is scheduled for 2016, to which the Ministry of Finance took into account 423.5 billion rubles in the budget project. Revenues from the sale of Rosneft shares in the form of dividends from Rosneftegaz.
