Gazprom first-half profits plunge by 34 percent to US$16.2 billion

Gazprom said in a statement that its net profit for the first half was 508.7 billion rubles (US$16.2 billion) compared with 771.7 billion (US$26.6 billion) in the same period last year, with total sales falling 5 percent to 2.23 trillion rubles (US$71.1 billion).

Income was squeezed by a 15-percent fall in net sales of gas to 1.24 trillion rubles (US$39.7 billion) although a 10-percent drop in sales to European markets was partially compensated by currency factors.

Sales of gas to the former Soviet Union region however plunged by a sharp 23 percent, the company said.
