Yatsenyuk expects further drop in gas prices in first quarter of 2016

Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has said that the prices for natural gas are expected to go down in the first quarter of 2016.

He said at a meeting of the Export Promotion Council on Thursday, December 10, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.

“As to the energy, I believe we have done a lot. This means that the price environment changed and oil prices dropped, which influenced the prices for natural gas,” he stressed.

Yatsenyuk also noted that Ukraine managed “to get rid of a gas addiction titled Russian Gazprom”.

“I expect a further drop in prices in the first quarter of the next year,” he added.
