According to the head of Directorate FAS RF in Bashkortostan, retail prices naturally grow after increase in stock exchange prices. The retail prices of Bashneft are lower than that of Lukoil, Rosneft, TNK-BP, Alliance.

Yesterday Bashneft for the fourth time this year raised prices for gasoline at its refuelling stations. As the oil company explains, this is due to increase of tax burden and inflation.
