Consensus

The Russian Ministry of Finance plans to sell the government's share in the Novorossiysk Seaport (NMTS) before the end of the year.
The sale will be conducted as a block deal, not through a public offering (SPO).
The Ministry of Finance has confirmed this plan at the Eastern Economic Forum (VÉF-2026).
The state share in NMTS is part of the government's privatization forecast for 2026.
Evaluation procedures are currently underway for the sale.
