The Central Bank predicted a stabilization of the fuel situation by October.

      September 1, 2026 13:15 Economy The Bank of Russia expects that the situation in the fuel market of Russia will become clearer and more predictable by the end of October. This was reported by the advisor to the chairman of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, Kirill Tremasov, at the Eastern Economic Forum (16+), TASS reports. According to him, it is still premature to draw conclusions about the situation now. The regulator hopes to obtain a clearer picture by the key rate board meeting, which will take place at the end of October. Meanwhile, in the Nizhny Novgorod region, on September 1, the rule for gasoline distribution based on the parity of vehicle license plate numbers was suspended for one day. This rule has been in effect at the regional network gas stations since July 6 and was introduced to reduce queues and form the necessary fuel reserves. There are currently no plans to completely lift restrictions until the fuel situation stabilizes. Additionally, the widespread introduction of QR codes is also not being considered. Furthermore, since August 13, volunteers have resumed work at key gas stations in the region. Restrictions on gasoline distribution have also been restored at Gazpromneft gas stations.
