Top managers at Russian oil company
Rosneft will see their bonuses skyrocket by 9,900 percent for the
first quarter of 2017.
Rosneft executives will receive a 1.5
billion ruble ($25.8 million) bonus, one hundred times more than the
same period in 2016, Russia’s Vedomosti newspaper reported Wednesday.
The sum also equals more than half of the total executive bonuses
received in 2016.
The decision comes despite a small
slump in the company’s revenue, which fell from 1,485 billion rubles ($25.6 billion) in the final
quarter of 2016 to 1,410 billion rubles ($24.3 billion) in the first quarter of this
year.
