Russian gas purchase price for Moldova might either increase or decrease in January 2022 - Andrei Spinu.
The Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development has stated this while speaking on a TV channel. According to him, it will be known in what direction the price will swing only on the last day of the year, and it all depends on the changes of international quotations as a whole during the month. Andrei Spinu explained that the formula for determining the price of gas for Moldova provides an average price for a month, not the events of one day. "That is, on the last day of December, we will know the value to be applied in the formula of the contract," he said. The Deputy Premier also noted that the situation in November, when Gazprom threatened to suspend gas supplies if Moldova did not pay the debts for the last month, would not reoccur, as Moldovagaz had fulfilled all the payment obligations for November and paid the advance payment for December. Andrei Spinu also said that the Cabinet will continue to pay compensations to citizens through bills in order to moderate the increase in gas and heating tariffs until the end of the heating season. More than 1.5 billion lei has been allocated for this purpose. //22.12.2021 - InfoMarket.
