Russia is extending its ban on gasoline exports from October to the end of December 2024, as it seeks to keep domestic supply stable amid seasonal demand and scheduled repairs at refineries, the Russian government said on Wednesday. Mongolia was not included in ban, but there was a problem linked to the withdrawal. So importers had provided limited fuel.

We clarified from The Mineral Resources and Petroleum Authority of Mongolia how the latest decision will affect our country and how much gasoline and diesel reserves we have. We were given the answer that Mongolia was not included in the previous ban on Russia’s fuel exports, so it will not be affected in any way.

There is enough resourse of gasoline and diesel fuel. There is a total of 177,000 tons of gasoline in the country. In detail, Mongolia has 42 thousand tons of AI-92 gasoline, 124 thousand tons of diesel fuel, 4.5 thousand tons of AI-95 gasoline, 6223 tons of TC-1 gasoline, and 613 tons of A-80 gasoline.

Mongolia has imported a total of 1.7 million tons of oil products by 2024.
