MOSCOW, March ⁠24 (Reuters) - The Kremlin on Tuesday, ⁠when asked about a Reuters ‌report that Russia was postponing a plan to boost long-term fiscal reserves, said ​that the issues were ⁠being worked ⁠out and that they were being discussed ⁠at ‌President Vladimir Putin's meetings on the economy.

Reuters' ⁠sources said on March 23 that ​the ‌government would now postpone a plan ⁠to ​boost long-term fiscal reserves due to the oil price spike triggered ⁠by the Iran war.

"This ​is the prerogative of the government," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told ⁠reporters when asked about the Reuters report. "These issues are discussed at meetings on economic issues with ​the participation of ⁠the head of state. These issues ​are currently being ‌worked out."
