Russian oil behemoth Rosneft PJSC promised record dividends on the back of soaring prices, but some foreign investors may struggle to access the payout.
The board recommended 23.63 rubles a share for the second half of 2021, bringing full-year dividends to an all-time high of 41.66 rubles. That follows an announcement last week by Russian gas giant Gazprom PJSC, which proposed its highest ever payout after benefiting from a supply crunch in Europe.
