"The verbatim transcripts say that it is journalists, who in their commentaries have pegged the Vneshekonombank credits to the Yuganskneftegaz sale", the statement reads.
At a recent news conference, answering the question on the Central Bank-published data on the increased borrowings by organs of state administration and whether or not it they linked to the purchase of Yuganskneftegaz, Mr. Kudrin said: "Now, I cannot comment on that. I can only say that it may be Vneshekonombank's borrowing of six billion dollars from Chinese banks to credit Rosneft", reads the statement.
Re-asked what banks could have given credits to buy Yuganskneftegaz, Mr. Kudrin said: "It's hard to say as regards Yuganskneftegaz. Vneshekonombank did attract credits from Chinese banks. I cannot speak in greater detail now," the press service cites Mr.Kudrin.
