The Russian aluminium industry leader is currently evaluating potential shutdown options for a number of its unprofitable facilities due to the combination of low aluminium prices and financial setbacks resulting from the implementation of an "exchange rate" export duty, as reported by Interfax, the Moscow headquartered Russian news agency.

Interfax has received information from an undisclosed source indicating that the closure of unprofitable production facilities is unavoidable in light of the current prices on the aluminium exchange. The aluminium powerhouse has yet to officially respond to inquiries regarding the potential closure of several of its plants.

However, a representative from one of its stakeholders, holding a 25.72 per cent stake in the aluminium company, stated that the parent company had yet to inform its shareholders about its intentions.
