MOSCOW, April 20 (Reuters) - The value of Russia's
exports fell 35% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2023, due
in part to a Western price cap on Russian oil, Russia's central
bank said on Thursday.
It added, however, that a drop in oil exports to the
European Union had been offset by an increase in sales to Asian
countries seeking oil at a discounted price.
