For the first time, Russia has earned more by selling gold than by exporting gas

94

For the period April-May of this year, the Russian Federation sold abroad gold worth $ 3,55 billion. It turned out to be higher than revenue from sales of pipeline gas abroad, which amounted to $ 2,4 billion over the same period.

This is evidenced by the data of the Bank of Russia and the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation.



This difference has arisen for a number of reasons. Firstly, from April 1, the Central Bank refused to purchase gold, so its export has increased significantly. On the other hand, natural gas prices fell to record levels. At the same time, the demand for this raw material fell, due to the coronavirus pandemic, due to which a decline in production was observed. This led to the filling of gas storages.

The head of the ACRA Sustainability Risk Assessment Group, Maxim Khudalov, notes that, since at least 1994, profits from pipeline gas exports have always exceeded revenues from exporting gold abroad.

But the growth in income from gold exports is not able to compensate for the loss of profits from the sale of hydrocarbons.

Maxim Khudalov believes that an increase in gold sales is not able to compensate for a decrease in profits from oil and gas exports. According to his calculations, it will block no more than 10 percent of losses in oil and gas revenues.

        For the first time in the history of modern Russia, sales of Russian gold abroad exceeded the export of pipeline gas in monetary terms. In April-May 2020 (there are no statistics for June yet), Russian companies exported, according to the Federal Customs Service (FCS), 65,4 tons of gold worth $ 3,55 billion. Over the same period, Gazprom’s foreign pipeline gas supplies amounted to $ 2,4 billion in monetary terms. We are selling the cap.

          At the current price of gold, one must do so, because the difference between the current price and the price for which they bought gold is too attractive. Why pull if we ourselves mine gold and subsequently offset the sale of domestic purchases? I do not think that such a situation will persist for a long time, and the weight of the sold gold is too insignificant to suffer greatly from this sale.

            from 2025, a steady decline in world production is possible, and by 2030 it can be reduced to 2,7 thousand tons, that is, by about 20% compared to 2018.
            In 2019, 113,5 tons of gold were taken to Britain, mainly in the form of ingots (a total of about 9 thousand ingots weighing 12,5 kg). Thus, 93% of Russian gold exports accounted for London.
            Comparison:
            Among other exporters - 12 other countriesincluding Kazakhstan and Switzerland, which purchased just $ 409 million.

              Well, compare here with this figure:
              Russia's gold reserves at the end of March 2020 amounted to 2.298 tons, or 73,9 million ounces. Its value is estimated at 119,83 billion dollars. The report says that in March the Central Bank of the Russian Federation bought 300.000 ounces, which corresponds to 9,33 tons.

        Seriously? wassat
        Here you have a vantage point of 5 inventions from the USSR ... but there were much more of them, starting from a quantum generator and ending with a cardiopulmonary bypass ...
        Мобильный телефон-First apparatus L.I. Kupriyanovich weighing 500 grams was tested in 1958. Thus, officially a mobile phone was invented and tested in the USSR 15 years earlier than in the United States.
        Microwave oven“However, on June 13, 1941, four years before the discovery of the American, the Trud newspaper reported to its readers about a useful invention by Soviet scientists ... a microwave oven to defrost and heat food.
        Internet- For the first time, the idea of ​​creating a prototype of the Internet was proposed to the Soviet government in 1959 by Colonel Anatoly Kitov. The military scientist, who was the creator of the Defense Ministry computing center, as well as the author of the dissertation on rocket programming, sincerely believed that computers were the future.

        In a note sent to the government, the perspicacious colonel suggested creating a unified social system in the country that would unite the computer centers of the USSR. Nevertheless, N.S. Khrushchev ignored this proposal.

        Following Anatoly Kitov, the idea of ​​creating a prototype of the Internet became interested in academician Viktor Glushkov. Given the centralized system of government, the scientist in 1961 proposed the creation of a nationwide automated system for recording and processing information.
        computer- Scientists presented the idea of ​​the first computer in the world to the scientific community of the Soviet Union back in 1948, having received copyright certificate No. 10475 for the invention of a digital computer on December 4, 1948.

        At the same time, four years of hard work and the most complicated engineering and design studies passed from the inception of the idea to its implementation. Only in 1952 the first working computer model was officially introduced and put into operation in the USSR.

        Later, in 1968, Arseny Anatolyevich Gorokhov patented a personal computer in the USSR, eight years ahead of Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple.
        Телевидение- For the first time, the word “television” came from the lips of the teacher of the cadet corps in St. Petersburg, KD Persian. In 1900, at the IV International Electrotechnical Congress, the scientist made a presentation on "Television through electricity." This was the first public acquaintance of mankind with the term “television”.

        The very principle of transmitting a video signal over a distance using an electron beam was proposed by the Russian physicist B.L. Rosing, having received a patent for his invention in 1907. Moreover, already in 1911, a talented inventor presented to the scientific community the first picture tube, which took the simplest images.

        Subsequently, the ideas of B.L. Rosing was developed by two physicists of Russian origin - S.I. Kataev and V.K. Zvorykin. Zvorykin received a patent for the invention of the television; he called his first device quite symbolically - the “information box”.

          Much has been invented, but little has been introduced - most inventions have remained under the cloth. We invented mobile communication, but introduced it to other countries, although the Union could not earn money on this. What is a microwave we learned in the late 80s, although in the West it was a common household appliance. What prevented the whole world from flooding with microwaves, since this is our invention? Computers are our priority, but the first personal computers did not appear in the Soviet Union, as did mass operating systems. Although this could also be exported, high-tech exports. But we, alas, failed to do this even for domestic consumption. The administrative-command planned economy is the cause of our technological backwardness. Despite the brilliant inventions of our scientists.

          Microwave: The Germans are convinced that the first known microwave oven, the Radiomissor, was used in the Wehrmacht in 2MB.
          The microwave originates from the invention of radar stations. At their work, for the first time they discovered the ability of radio waves to create a thermal effect, they had to make thermal protection of equipment.

    Dear Authors! Maxim Khudalov, Head of the ACRA Sustainable Development Risk Assessment Group, is who, what does he / she does during working hours and what success has he achieved? Why did he decide to compare pipeline gas with gold, and not with pipeline oil? I would compare gold with palladium, or silver, or platinum ... Gold is understandable, the price has risen significantly over the year - the economic crisis. And during the crisis, of course, oil and gas, and even platinum, which is used in industry, and not in the production of jewelry, is not purchased in the same volumes and the price for them falls ... And gas storage facilities in Europe are filled to capacity even before the official coronavirus pandemic - the winter of this year in Europe was warm ...

The second - NO TECHNOLOGIES. There is human potential, academic science is there, political determination and will is needed. You can buy, you can copy, you can just steal ... Whatever - otherwise, resources will be depleted in one way or another (they will become cheaper, become technologically unnecessary) we will not get away from pensions of $ 92 ...

        Dear, you are a great specialist to ride on the ears.
        Gold is not sold for rubles in order to be invested in the domestic market, but sold for a dollar: either to open foreign currency accounts abroad for further financial activities there, or to buy an imported product with added value. Those. in fact, gold is invested in the economy of foreign countries.
        The dollar has already crawled upward, and this is a sure sign that it was not market speculators who were engaged in currency speculation, but Russian banks. Actually, the decline in the dollar exchange rate since 2008 is necessary to increase the capitalization of the personal accounts of the country's ruling elite. Exactly the same thing was done in the 98th year. And such speculations directed against their own people will continue as long as the St. Petersburg group is in power.

    I’ll tell you one little secret: The Union of Technology bought more than exported.

    Seriously? wassat
    Here you have a vantage point of 5 inventions from the USSR ... but there were much more of them, starting from a quantum generator and ending with a cardiopulmonary bypass ...
    Мобильный телефон-First apparatus L.I. Kupriyanovich weighing 500 grams was tested in 1958. Thus, officially a mobile phone was invented and tested in the USSR 15 years earlier than in the United States.
    Microwave oven“However, on June 13, 1941, four years before the discovery of the American, the Trud newspaper reported to its readers about a useful invention by Soviet scientists ... a microwave oven to defrost and heat food.
    Internet- For the first time, the idea of ​​creating a prototype of the Internet was proposed to the Soviet government in 1959 by Colonel Anatoly Kitov. The military scientist, who was the creator of the Defense Ministry computing center, as well as the author of the dissertation on rocket programming, sincerely believed that computers were the future.

    In a note sent to the government, the perspicacious colonel suggested creating a unified social system in the country that would unite the computer centers of the USSR. Nevertheless, N.S. Khrushchev ignored this proposal.

    Following Anatoly Kitov, the idea of ​​creating a prototype of the Internet became interested in academician Viktor Glushkov. Given the centralized system of government, the scientist in 1961 proposed the creation of a nationwide automated system for recording and processing information.
    computer- Scientists presented the idea of ​​the first computer in the world to the scientific community of the Soviet Union back in 1948, having received copyright certificate No. 10475 for the invention of a digital computer on December 4, 1948.

    At the same time, four years of hard work and the most complicated engineering and design studies passed from the inception of the idea to its implementation. Only in 1952 the first working computer model was officially introduced and put into operation in the USSR.

    Later, in 1968, Arseny Anatolyevich Gorokhov patented a personal computer in the USSR, eight years ahead of Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple.
    Телевидение- For the first time, the word “television” came from the lips of the teacher of the cadet corps in St. Petersburg, KD Persian. In 1900, at the IV International Electrotechnical Congress, the scientist made a presentation on "Television through electricity." This was the first public acquaintance of mankind with the term “television”.

    The very principle of transmitting a video signal over a distance using an electron beam was proposed by the Russian physicist B.L. Rosing, having received a patent for his invention in 1907. Moreover, already in 1911, a talented inventor presented to the scientific community the first picture tube, which took the simplest images.

    Subsequently, the ideas of B.L. Rosing was developed by two physicists of Russian origin - S.I. Kataev and V.K. Zvorykin. Zvorykin received a patent for the invention of the television; he called his first device quite symbolically - the “information box”.

    You confuse invented and implemented. It is one thing to make a prototype, another to create a production technology that is reliable, cheap and people like. And I created hundreds of prototypes. Even I2 protocol I createdbut rooted Motorola seems. And what I did on the machine dusty in the warehouse lies and nobody cares.
