Moscow considers sale of Rosneft stake

摘要

Russia's Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov said in October that the government might reduce its 75.16% interest in Rosneft, the country's largest oil producer, between 2012-2015, as part of a national privatization program. The government is considering selling up to 15% of its stake in Rosneft on the market, with an additional stake sold via swaps, according to Shuvalov. In July, the finance ministry said that it was seeking to sell a 24.16% stake in Rosneft. Analysts then said the stake was likely to be worth $15-16 billion.
