Sale of a controlling stake in Yuzhuralzolot may take place in two stages with full completion in the first half of 2026, Russian Deputy Finance Minister Alexei Moiseev said. He also said that the agency is discussing legislative amendments with the Bank of Russia to eliminate a legal conflict with the offer to minority shareholders. "Of course, we are very careful not to let the Federal Property Management Agency be such a tool, as if it were a voluntary buyer," Moiseev explained.
