Mali: No Need for Electricity and Gas Price Increase Next Year, as per Agreement with IMF

The minister of finance of Serbia, Sinisa Mali, has stated that the arrangement with the International Monetary Fund clearly says that there is no need for electricity and gas price increase next year.

– Next year, the emphasis will be placed on the restructuring of Elektroprivreda Srbije, without indication of an electricity price increase, and the same goes for gas – Mali said at a press conference.

He added that what worried Serbia at that moment was the special fee for the transit of gas through Bulgaria and said that it remained to be seen how to react.

Let us remind that, from today, the price of electricity for households and small purchasers is more expensive by 8% on average, whereas gas is 10% more expensive.
