Russia and Belarus said on Thursday they had signed a deal on gas prices for 2021, APA-Economics reports citing Reuters.
Russian gas giant Gazprom said its chief executive Alexei Miller and Belarussian officials had signed a protocol on how to calculate natural gas prices for 2021 supplies.
Belarus’s energy ministry said the agreed prices were broadly on a par with the levels in 2020, but still below prices calculated by a formula agreed in 2011.
The price this year was $127 per 1,000 cubic metres.
