Alrosa may pay dividends for the first half of 2023 if the diamond market remains stable. This approach was agreed upon by the company's major shareholders - the Russian government and Yakutia, said head of Yakutia Aysen Nikolayev on the sidelines of SPIEF-2023. "We agreed with the government of the country: if we do not see deterioration of the economic situation in the diamond market in the first half of the year, we will return to the issue of dividend payment," said Nikolaev.
