俄罗斯卖油气给中国,改用人民币和卢布结算
6park.comRussia has been exporting more energy to China and India since the West imposed sanctions over its invasion of Ukraine. 6park.com 6park.com 6park.comRussia's Gazprom said on Tuesday it had signed an agreement to start switching payments for gas supplies to China to yuan and rubles instead of dollars. 6park.com The shift is part of a push by Russia to reduce its reliance on the US dollar, euro and other hard currencies in its banking system and for trade — a drive that Moscow has accelerated since it was hit with Western sanctions in response to its invasion of Ukraine. 6park.comRussia has been forging closer economic ties with China and other non-Western countries, in particular as new markets for its vital hydrocarbon exports.
Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller said allowing for payments in Russian rubles and Chinese yuan was "mutually beneficial" for both Gazprom and Beijing's state-owned China National Petroleum Corporation.
"It will simplify the calculations, become an excellent example for other companies and give an additional impetus for the development of our economies," he said. 6park.com
