MOSCOW, December 26. /TASS/. Russian oil company Gazprom Neft is selling more than 50% of its foreign currency revenue and has no large foreign currency war chest, CEO Alexander Dyukov said Friday in an interview to Rossiya 24 channel.

“We are selling more than 50% of our foreign currency revenue anyway, it is hard for me to speak about other exporters. But I think that the central bank has enough instruments to influence the ruble rate and that this measure is excessive, but the central bank is the one who decides,” Dyukov said.

Earlier this week, the government has sent an order to the largest country’s exporters Gazprom, Rosneft, ALROSA, Zarubezhneft and Kristall diamond cutter to swap part of their revenue for rubles and to have their net foreign currency assets at October 1 levels by March 1.
