the Russian producers, the prices for LDPE grow. This year it may not

unchanged and is within the range 56.000 – 60.500 Rub./t, including VAT,
FCA, for 158 LDPE.
At the same time PE price quotations in Asia continue their growth and
last week they reached the level of USD 1.600 – 1.680/mt, CFR.The Asian
market of LDPE is getting more and more attractive for the Russian producers. PE
