No reasons yet for increase in tariffs in Ukraine

No reasons yet for increase in tariffs in Ukraine

As of present there is no reason to talk about the increase this year in utility tariffs, natural gas or electricity. This was stated by Vice Prime Minister Pavlo Rozenko.

He also noted that due to increased minimum wage from January 1 to UAH 3 thousand 200 hryvnia the dimensions of subsidies in this heating season will not be revised.

To recall, the government for some period of time concealed the fact that the IMF in exchange for a new tranche demanded to increase the retirement age for Ukrainians. Only a leak in the media forced the government to admit it. The Cabinet also assured that the government refused to fulfil the demand of the Fund to increase the retirement age
