To fulfill this goal, it was initially planned to introduce an additional tax, which would amount to about 40 kopecks. on each liter, and this, in turn, would directly affect the cost of fuel at the gas station.
At the same time, the state department reported that the figure of 40 kopecks. is a starting point: this is how much it is necessary to collect funds from one liter of fuel in order to accumulate 2 million tons of oil products by the beginning of 2023 However, this is not the only way and the State Reserve is considering other options, including attracting loans from international organizations, redistribution of profits from excise duty, contributions from participants in the domestic market of petroleum products, etc. Each of the available options has its own advantages and disadvantages, so while each of them is analyzed in order to identify the most optimal one.
Representatives of the State Reserve do not hide the fact that regardless of the investment option chosen, the price of gasoline at domestic filling stations will still increase, while the department is not ready to predict the exact increase in cost. According to Vadim Mosiychuk, who holds the post of head of the department, fuel may rise in price by 40 kopecks per liter, or by a less significant amount. He also said that their working group will make every effort to ensure that the increase in value corresponds to the current socio-economic realities.
