Chairperson of Naftogaz Supervisory Board: No significant rise is gas prices in near future

Chairperson of the Supervisory Board of NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine Yulia Kovaliv says that oil prices, and therefore natural gas prices will not rise significantly in the near future.

“We do not expect a significant increase in oil prices, and therefore we do not expect a significant increase in gas prices. It’s according to forecasts by leading agencies," Kovaliv said at the II Ukrainian Gas Investment Forum, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.

According to her, it is an opportunity for Ukraine to attract investors into the gas production industry.

"For this, changes are needed in three key areas: reforms in the natural gas market, fiscal incentives, solving the problem with the industry's deregulation," Kovaliv noted.
