Rosneftegaz still has significant amount of dividends that could be used - Siluanov

MOSCOW. Oct 25 (Interfax) - The Russian government is not ruling out taking additional funds from Rosneftegaz for the federal budget, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said.

"I think that if we have proposals for using these funds - and these funds should be used, we think, exclusively for infrastructural and organizational projects - then we can return to consideration of this question, because Rosneftegaz still has a significant amount of dividends that can be used," Siluanov said Thursday at a briefing after a government meeting.

This question did not come up during the government meeting today, Siluanov added.
