Rosneft might settle loans issued for purchase of TNK-BP in advance

Rosneft due to the geopolitical risks doesn’t plan to settle its loans in advance attracted for the purchase of TNK-BP but will continue to reduce the total debt of the company, I. Sechin said.

We will pay back by the schedule, he said.

Speaking about the advance settlement, he said it would depend on the situation in the market. We have such an opportunity, if geopolitical risks grow, why should we pay in advance? We will keep the money. If we see the situation becomes stable – we will sure pay in advance.
