The Russian Deputy Finance Minister Alexei Moiseyev announced that there is no current need for state support for Alrosa, as the company has successfully reduced costs and maintained liquidity. Alrosa's financial condition is stable, with a significant cash reserve, eliminating immediate concerns.

The government will continue to monitor the situation throughout the year. While Yakutia authorities have expressed concerns, there are existing interbudgetary relations to address these issues. Additionally, the State Precious Metals and Gemstones Repository (Gokhran) is acquiring gold, platinum, and silver, with a potential budget of 50 billion rubles for diamond purchases in 2026, depending on market conditions. Alrosa has also benefited from the sale of its stake in Angola's Catoca, allowing it to manage sales independently.
