MOSCOW: Russia’s oil and gas revenue declined by 33.7% in June to 494.8 billion roubles ($6.29 billion) from the same month a year earlier, finance ministry data showed on Thursday, amid weak oil prices and a strengthening rouble.
Revenue also fell by 3.5 per cent
from May.
Reuters expected the revenue to fall to 490 billion roubles, based on its own calculations.
