Russia’s Customs Service transfers over $65.67 bln to budget in 2023
As Ruslan Davydov expects, the Federal Customs Service of Russia will fulfill, "maybe even slightly exceed," the planned target
KAZAN, December 8. /TASS/. The Federal Customs Service of Russia has transferred more than 6 trillion rubles ($65.67 bln) to the federal budget since the beginning of the year, and is on track to fulfill its annual plan despite the fact that significant volumes of gas were not exported due to the attacks on Nord Stream, acting head of the Federal Customs Service of Russia Ruslan Davydov told reporters.
"We are fulfilling the plan of 6.464 trillion [rubles] according to the forecast. <...> There are already less than 400 bln left for this year. That is, we have crossed the 6 trillion mark. So, I think that by the end of the year we will fulfill, maybe even slightly exceed, that planned target," Davydov said.
He noted how intense the plan is. "We will fulfill this despite the fact that we have suffered greatly as a result of gas exports because of terrorist attacks on pipelines. And a major share of these goods was simply not exported," he explained.
