Mạng lưới dẫn dầu khí của Nga khắp Âu Châu
Điển h́nh cho t́nh trạng suy sụp của nền kinh tế Nga, đại công ty Gazprom tuyên bố đang kẹt tiền nặng. Putin đă rút hết tiền trong két Gazprom để bù đắp những hụt hẫng ngân quỹ sau khi lấy một số quyết định quá ư là tốn tiền :
- bắt Gazprom chi 3 tỷ cho Thế vận hội Sotchi;
- xây đường ống dẫn dầu khí không đi ngang qua Ukraine;
- tăng thuế những công ty Nga;
- Đóng băng giá dầu nội địa.
Đó là chưa kể nay Ukraine ỳ ra không trả món nợ 2 tỷ dầu khí.
T́nh trạng khó khăn của nền kinh tế nội địa giải thích phần nào việc Putin rút quân vùng biên giới cũng như những đề nghị mới về tương lai Ukraine.
As Russia Stumbles, Gazprom Comes Up $910 Billion Short
Russia’s natural-gas export monopoly aspired to be the world’s largest company, he said while offering up a prediction: its market value would quadruple to $1 trillion in as little as seven years.
Medvedev was off by $910 billion. Since he made that forecast, no company among the world’s top 5,000 has suffered a bigger collapse in market capitalization than Gazprom, a $154 billion plunge that’s become emblematic of the malaise that has overtaken President Vladimir Putin’s economy. The state-run company has tumbled three straight years in the stock market as it stepped up spending on everything from the Olympic games in Sochi to projects in Siberia.
Gazprom’s profit for the first nine months of last year calculated under Russian standards declined 9 percent to 467 billion rubles ($13 billion). Income under international standards increased 4 percent to 859 billion rubles. The company hasn’t disclosed its full-year earnings report.
With about $3 billion of spending earmarked for the Olympics and billions more for new gas transit routes to Europe bypassing Ukraine, Gazprom has said it doesn’t have sufficient funds to distribute more cash. The government has frozen the company’s domestic prices and increased its taxes. Ukraine, meanwhile, has fallen behind on its gas bill, racking up a debt with Gazprom that’s swelled to more than $2 billion.
