Romania Shouldn’t Expect Energy Price Hikes In „Near Future” – IMF

Romanians should not expect electricity and gas prices to grow “in the near future”, since cost liberalization will develop gradually until 2015, according to Jeffrey Franks, the head of the International Monetary Fund’s delegation to Romania.

Franks told a news conference Tuesday that vulnerable consumers need to be defined and protected, and that electricity and gas costs will be calculated while taking into consideration the client’s income.

Romanian electricity and gas prices will grow between 2013 and 2015 based on a calendar set up by September 2011. The price deregulation was announced Monday evening by Prime Minister Emil Boc, at the end of negotiations with the IMF.
