Gas and electricity prices for the population could go up by 4.3% in Russia in 2014, because of revision of the inflation forecast up to 6.2%, Russian Minister of Economic Development Aleksey Ulyukayev said.
According to the Russian government’s decision, in 2014 natural monopolies will freeze the prices for the industrial consumers and increase prices for the population up to 70% of inflation rate of 2013. Russia has already approved reduction of fees by 4.2%, considering the forecast of inflation of 6%.
