Provision Gokhran to buy Alrosa diamonds for 2025

 

Alexey Moiseev confirmed that the Ministry had made a provision  

Russia’s Finance Ministry is currently monitoring the trends of the diamonds market, planning to decide on acquisitions of diamonds from Alrosa to the State Precious Metals and Gems Repository (Gokhran) at the end of the second quarter, Deputy Finance Minister Alexey Moiseev told domestic reporter.

He confirmed the information that the Finance Ministry had made a provision for purchases of diamonds from Alrosa to Gokhran for 2025. "At this stage we are monitoring the market dynamics so far, indeed, it is rather weak, though not much time has passed," he said.  

"Fundamentally, the first quarter is rarely strong. I think that we will actually see how much the situation has changed structurally, or this has rather been a seasonal factor, at the end of the second quarter, and then we will be taking a decision," the official added.  

Earlier, Moiseev said that the Finance Ministry was considering the possibility of acquiring diamonds from Alrosa to Gokhran in 2025.  

Alrosa’s mining assets are located in Russia, specifically in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the Arkhangelsk Region. The company covers every aspect of diamond production — from geological exploration to the creation of polished diamonds and jewelry. Its shareholders are the Russian Federation (33.03%), Yakutia (25%), and the republic’s districts (8%). Around 34% of the company's shares are in free float.  

Net profit of Alrosa under the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) fell by 77.4% in 2024 to 19.25 bln rubles ($217 mln). Revenues from sales declined by 25.9% year on year to 239 bln rubles ($2.7 bln).

Gold and silver's CPI soften over steady fed rate   At the juncture Colin Shah, MD, Kama Jewelry said, “The decision by the US Fed to keep the policy rate intact for the seventh consecutive time comes as per the industry expectations. Although the inflation has cooled down, it has still not come under the Fed’s expected range, thereby deferring the possibility of three rate cuts, which we could have possibly seen during this calendar year.   As per the forecast by Fed, it has hinted that it may start slashing rates from next year onwards wherein a rate cut of 100bps is in focus. However, we will have to wait and watch how the inflation numbers play out, which will further decide the possibility of rate cuts next year.   Gold prices saw some softness post Fed’s announcement in domestic market. Since Q2 of financial year is usually a dull phase due to monsoon and shraadh, we expect the prices to remain dampened during this period. Nevertheless, we hope for the demand ...
