Economy Ministry includes gas price of $245 per 1,000 cubic meters in 2017 state budget
The Ministry of Economic Development and Trade has included the average gas price of UAH 6,686 per 1,000 cubic meters in the draft national budget of Ukraine for 2017, Minister of Energy and Coal Industry Ihor Nasalyk has told journalists in Kyiv.
The draft national budget for 2017, submitted by the government to the Verkhovna Rada on September 15, is built on the forecast for the average annual hryvnia exchange rate of UAH 27.2/$1, which brings the average price of gas to $245.8.
"The Economic Development Ministry has formed the price of gas for the budget at the level of UAH 6,686 per 1,000 cubic meters. Three weeks have passed since I officially sent a letter for Naftogaz to provide the price at which it purchases gas. But I have not received an answer. I have raised the issue at a cabinet meeting whether it is a private company or a state one," he said.
Nasalyk added due to a lack of information from Naftogaz he cannot say what the gas import price will be next year.
