Asked how the government plans to compensate for an increase in gas buying costs, the government’s head reminded of a legislative ban on the tariff for “blue fuel” for the population.
“You know that, in some of the tariffs for the population, we have a moratorium,” the head of the government reminded.
The Minister of Energy Minister Svetlana Grinchuk has confirmed that despite the significant increase in gas imports and the cost of procurement of “blue fuel”, the cost of gas for the population will not be revised. She reminded that, in particular, an EUR 500 million loan agreement was signed for the purchase of imported gas under EU guarantees, and noted that negotiations were underway to obtain a loan for the purchase of “blue fuel” with the European Investment Bank.
“As Yulia Sviridenko, Julia Sviridenko, said, we have a moratorium on raising tariffs for the population, so we will find both in the state budget and the Naftogaz budget for the tariff to be balanced and unbearable for the population,” the minister said.
