Reuters claims: privatization of Rosneft by Qatar QIA went to the money of the Russian Federation

80
Information Agency Reutersreferring to some anonymous sources, it issues material in which it is alleged that the privatization of part of the Rosneft asset package was allegedly carried out, including with Russian state funds. We are talking about the acquisition of a Qatari investment fund (QIA) and the Swiss Glencore 19% stake in an oil company in the Russian Federation. So, QIA Qatari Fund eventually became the owners of 14,16% of Rosneft shares.





On the situation with reference to Reuters tells RBC. It is stated (with reference to those unnamed sources, “who wished to remain anonymous) that the transaction was allegedly financed by foreign companies only partially.

From the agency’s material: “The transaction was financed by VTB Bank, which issued QIA 6 billions in loans.”

VTB itself stated that the bank did not allocate any loans to the Qatari investment fund. But the “unnamed sources” of the Western news agency insist that the Russian bank itself took out a loan from the Central Bank of the Russian Federation in the amount of 350 billion rubles, and in subsequent reports indicated that it lent 6,7 billion to foreign borrowers for a three-year period. About who these borrowers are not reported.

Reuters stated that this was done in order to convince Qataris of the expediency of the transaction, which they initially refused to conduct.

From agency material:
Lending for the purchase of a stake in Rosneft was carried out contrary to the stated goal of attracting foreign money to Russia. The main part of financing is Russian capital.


RBC cites a statement by the head of the Rosneft press service, Mikhail Leontyev, on this issue:
The company is not responsible for negotiating its customers with banks on the terms of the loan transaction.

It seems that these materials were published in connection with the pressure of the West on those financial organizations that have decided to ignore sanctions, and to make deals with state-owned companies in Russia. QIA also needed an alibi - allegedly we were buying a stake in Rosneft, but Russia itself financed the purchase.

At the same time, the fact remains: the practice of informational strikes in Russia with references to “unnamed” and “newsmakers who wish to remain unknown” or pseudo-newsmakers by the West will be clearly preserved.

        Rosneft was "privatized" for the money of our own state (Central Bank), but Sechin reported to Putin on the successful implementation of the order, for which he received a prize and an order for and also imprisoned Ulyukaev along the way. And who is the swindler here?

        in case of new world crises and natural disasters like summer 2010

        According to the Siluanov-Nabiullins, this "crisis" has not stopped in our country since the 90s, having become a normal everyday occurrence. Thus, they are trying to hang vermicelli on the ears of the electorate, like - since there is a crisis, then don’t blather, we will not invest in the social sector, say thank you for giving.

      The usual liberal economy: we drive inflation, wait for investors, collect taxes and a pillow in case the investor comes around. If someone else believes that Putin is a socialist, this is not so, obviously. The trouble is that we do not have the right to develop our own economy for the proceeds from oil: according to Khazin, he, working in the EBN apparatus, personally held a paper in his hands with this obligation. Truth on the conscience of Khazin, but judging by the economy - it seems.

      In court, even kakly from the "national property" won. Moreover, the situation is far worse than it seems - the kakly have sued themselves the money that should have gone to finance the "northern streams" - now, the investors' money went not to Gazprom for the construction of these gas pipelines, but to the Swiss bailiffs to pay the claim of Naftogaz ". Here they are - the "successes" of Russia on the international market, real, not "hurray-patriotic"

      In addition, Rosneft broke into Iraqi Kurdistan, an "unrecognized territory" and has already invested $ 1,3 billion there, and is going to bring this amount to $ 3 billion at a time when the Iraqi government is opposing Kurdish insurgents and calls this deal "gross interference into Iraqi affairs "and is going to take Kirkuk back under its control - when this happens, Rosneft will lose its investment. https://finance.rambler.ru/other/38115884-vosstanovlenie-kontrolya-bagdada-nad-kirkukom-ogromnye-poteri-dlya-rosnefti/?updated These are Russia's "successful managers".

      Rosneft, after having overcome Yukos, using state courts, made several more acquisitions. Home - TNK-BP. But here Rosneft cheated as children. I bought it at an inflated price and got into debt that it pays (or rather, Russia pays for it) so far.

        10 November 2018 13: 37
        Yes, today's Rosneft costs less than it paid for TNK-BP itself. This is Sechin's brilliant deal. Roughly the same as with the privatization of Rosneft. But in our country it is not customary to count the losses of the state. On the contrary, the sovereign man is in the nearest cage. And look, in about three years the owner of the Qatari block of shares will be a Russian "investor". And he will buy it with money borrowed in our own state banks. And by a strange coincidence, Sechin or his relatives will be the controlling owner of this investor.

          So the point is not that the state has a controlling stake. By the way, the control package may be at 20%. But the fact is that they sold part of the state’s revenues, in which no one really brings currency except Rosneft and Gazprom. The deal was held in September, in a quiet ... There is also BP Russian Investments Limited with its 19,75% stake. And this package was also sold not so long ago, in my opinion in 2016. This is not an investment, this sale is almost wholesale. They would sell the shares of the plant under construction, no matter what. Although robots, even coffee grinders, this would be an investment. And in the conditions when we all go nuts with the salaries of the same Sechin, Miller and other Kokorins, I don’t even have a shadow of a doubt that we will receive from this transaction, if not direct, but definitely losses!

            And what do you want, Sechin and Miller are heads of huge state-owned companies for this and their salaries are appropriate, but these salaries come from the sale of resources, and not from our pockets and state treasuries. And in the stock of the plant under construction, only suckers will be invested - since today it is being built, and tomorrow it is no longer being built. Buying a stock of a long-established large company is precisely the investment - reasonable.

              For starters, you would first become familiar with the concept of corporatization. And how it all began before the financial market crushed the market for real sectors. Returning to the Sechins and Millers, the question arises, why do they have such salaries if the resources belong to the people? And further, if you sell the shares of the state raw materials company, then someone gets access to the state raw materials base! If these were companies from the Russian Federation, then at least taxes would remain in the Russian Federation. And in our case, we have a complete conclusion of everything to nowhere ... And what you wrote further about suckers is a conversation to nowhere. No need to build, need to sell ... excellent. But I’m a sucker, I’m for Russian production, for any investment, even from pirates of the Caribbean, but in real production, and I am against the fact that Kokorins and other sechin receive raw materials, and people like you (the plural with a small letter) are called suckers like me)))

                  Each person has their own vision of doing business. You are probably one of those who "develop" the Russian production of bankrupt operating enterprises, and then dismember the remains and sell them in pieces, since the pieces are more expensive than the whole. Moreover, the GDP grows and the IFRS shows profit))) And judging by your second statement, starting production in Russia is sheer oligophrenia, if investing in an enterprise under construction is the height of idiocy.

                      Personally, you are free to act with your money in accordance with your ideas and desires. But the state should invest in the development of its production, and for you to invest in a 7-year-old plant, you had to build it 7 years ago. And so far we only sell ... in bulk ... at reduced prices. Once again I repeat my thought, I do not see the benefits of selling a raw budget-forming company!

          The controlling stake in Rosneft, like Gazprom, belongs to the state.

          You need to add the word "bye". By the way, the controlling stake does not formally belong to the state, since 11% of Rosneft and 26% of Gazprom belong to Rosneftegaz, which is controlled by Sechin. And although Rosneftegaz seems to be state-owned, Sechin is quite his own boss there. Huge dividends received by Rosneftegaz from Gazprom and Rosneft almost never reach the state, but settle in the bowels of Rosneftegaz. And Sechin decides where to invest them.

            First mistake: 100% of Rosneftegaz’s shares belong to the state represented by the Federal Property Management Agency.
            The second mistake: Rosneft's controlling stake (50% + 1 share) belongs to Rosneftegaz. That is, the state.
            The third mistake: Rosneftegaz owns 10,97% of Gazprom shares, as well as 26,36% of Inter RAO shares. Not Gazprom 26.

            even though Rosneftegaz seems to be state-owned, but Sechin’s quite a master there

            Sechin "there" is a hired labor force.

              Wage labor are those to whom Sechin pays a salary. And he is the actual owner there. I hope you understand that it is not always necessary to own 51% of the shares in order to actually manage the enterprise

                I repeat: Sechin is not the owner, therefore, Sechin is hired personnel. Sechin cannot, for example, sell Rosneft at his discretion (the owner can). But this is just not interesting, for the obvious.

    It is clear that buying out Rosneft at the peak of the fall in oil prices is an archival advantage. I was surprised that this asset was given to the Qatarites. It turns out that everything went like in the 90s - a state asset - for state money.

      Yes, no .... Moscow is a normal, developing capital city with its problems that every metropolis has .... Have you been to New York for a long time? Or in Paris? Yes, in the same Helsinki, Oslo or Stockholm? There (with the exception, probably of New York), the changes are really significant for the worse, and many times worse than what was there 15 years ago, and these deteriorations are precisely caused by the migrant crisis and the liberalism of the authorities .

        Well, how can I say ... I was at the exhibition of small mechanization as a participant, where 75% of the expositions were Chinese and communicated with Chinese who spoke English and Russian, their revelations seemed to me quite interesting. One Chinese studied in Moscow, he is the general manager for foreign economic activity of the WEIMA plant, which produces engines and walk-behind tractors, including both under his own brand and for Husqvarna (Sweden). Here he told me literally the following. A good welder in China receives about 120-150 thousand rubles (in terms of value), according to him, an amateur level asks for 70 thousand. they have transferred welding work to Japanese and German robots, Chinese robots still leave much to be desired. The best design is European, the Chinese will learn design for at least another 50 years. About us, he said that we agreed to voluntary degradation, the Russian school in technology was one of the strongest. If you buy Chinese equipment, the state Sberbank returns 30% of the amount. As for Moscow, it is somehow shocking the abundance of Asians everywhere - cashiers, cleaners, helpers. Well, the problem, I really don't know. In any Chinese or Arabian metropolis, there are dozens of such towers in the center of Moscow and much more beautiful. The asphalt that I saw is broken by thermal cracks, landslides in some places. But these are "problems of a developing metropolis." You walk at night, some Kyrgyz in the middle of the newly laid asphalt are already digging something, laying communications, you can fail. The horror is simple, everything has been dug up and blocked around.

    It’s an interesting situation. We are not just raising funds to the country, but it turned out we are even financing purchases.
    Once again, we will return to the situation with the pension reform, where a competent opinion was expressed that there is no money in the country in retirement! In fact, the state is getting rid of the social component, and this was just confirmed by another official:
    The state owes you nothing!

      Of course not, since 26 million do not pay taxes and all those savings that were in the USSR turned into zero in the 90s, so now the state essentially pays a pension at its own expense, past the 7 trillion that are needed at the moment in retirement , you still need 5 trillion - for social programs, 3 trillion for the defense industry and so on and so forth, as well as the constant need to replenish the stabilization fund that drained the crises of 2008 - 10 and 2014 -17 - that's not enough for everything.

    In my personal opinion, it was like this:
    There is an asset owned by the state (Rosneft), unidentified persons with Russian citizenship at the helm of this asset would like to take this asset, they won’t be able to take everything all at once, they decided to take it from the state in parts so that there would be no scandals. In order to divert all attention from themselves, foreign investors were invented and the goal was to get foreign money into the country .. VTB gave loans to non-residents associated with unidentified persons at the helm of Rosneft, they transferred money to the Qatari fund (and maybe to the Chinese) and through this fund they own the data shares ... The scheme may be different in some ways, but in my opinion, VTB did not lend to an Arab fund, namely, unidentified persons at the helm of Rosneft ... Everyone knows of course who these unidentified persons are
    Perhaps the people in VTB who issued loans received their part of Rosneft))
