Gazprom PJSC said Wednesday that it had reduced its investment
program and operating costs for 2020, citing market conditions
caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The Russian energy giant said it plans to invest 922.49 billion
Russian rubles ($11.94 billion) this year, which is RUB182.24
billion below its original investment program approved in December
2019. The new plan was been approved by the company's board.
The company has also lowered its planned borrowings for the year
to RUB501.29 billion, or RUB56.48 billion less than previously
intended.
Gazprom said operating costs will be reduced by RUB297.1
billion, which will provide full coverage of the company's
liabilities without a deficit.
Gazprom said it would invest RUB720.67 billion for capital
construction projects, RUB105.79 billion for asset acquisitions and
RUB96.02 billion for long-term financial investments.
