▪️Overall, the oil and gas sector, on which every fourth ruble in the budget and almost 20% of Russian GDP depends, lost 50.4% of its net profit. 45% of companies in the sector ended the half-year with losses totaling 749.5 billion rubles.

▪️The cause of these remarkable events is several factors: OPEC's decision to increase oil production, which led to a price drop, and sanctions due to which Russia lost part of its markets, and where it remained — it is forced to sell oil at a discount.
