Russia has raised oil export duty to $270.7 a metric ton from Feb. 1 from the current $267/ton, according documents published by Russia's official Rossiyskaya Gazeta newspaper Friday.
Duty on light petroleum products will rise to $194.7/ton from the current $192.2/ton, and duty on heavy petroleum products will increase to $104.9/ton from the current $103.5/ton.
Last year, the government moved from a bimonthly to a monthly duty adjustment procedure to respond more swiftly to changes in world oil prices.
