Date 03/02/2023

1. On 4 February 2023, members of the Price Cap Coalition reached consensus on the maximum prices for seaborne Russian-origin petroleum products. This follows the G7 Finance Ministers Statement on 2 September and the Coalition Statement on 2 December 2022 on a price cap for seaborne Russian-origin crude oil. The price cap policy is intended to prevent Russia from profiting from its war of aggression against Ukraine, to support stability in global energy markets, and to minimise negative economic spillovers of Russia’s war of aggression, especially on low- and middle-income countries, including by allowing our service providers to continue to support shipments of Russian-origin crude oil and petroleum products to other countries, if the prices do not exceed the respective caps.
