Vice PM Rozenko: No grounds for raising utility tariffs

There are no grounds for raising gas price for population and utility tariffs.

Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine Pavlo Rozenko said this on the air of 112 Ukraine TV channel.

"Currently, I see no reasons for raising gas price for population and utility tariffs in 2017. This means that the gas price is currently fixed. I hope that the gas price will not grow this year. At least, the government's decision fixed the gas price, if I am not mistaken, at the level of 6,870 UAH on October 1, i.e., at the level of last year, the last heating season. Today there is no reason to raise gas price for population and utility tariffs," the Vice Prime Minister said.
