Gazprom’s overdue debts to supply companies and contractors in the first half of 2009 increased by 64 percent to a total of 78.2 billion RUB, newspaper Vedomosti reports.
Meanwhile, the company is itself the victim of non-paid debts. Other companies owe Gazprom about the same amount – 78.4 billion RUB – most of it for gas deliveries sold on guarantees, the newspaper writes.
