Kyrgyzstan plans state price regulation for coal

Kyrgyzstan plans to introduce temporary state regulation of solid fuel prices, including coal, for 90 calendar days. The plan was announced on Birinchi Radio by representatives of the Antimonopoly Regulation Service under the Ministry of Economy and Commerce.

According to them, the measure aims to protect the population socially and prevent unjustified increases in coal prices during the active heating season. The state will approve maximum prices that traders and intermediaries are not permitted to exceed. Specific tariffs will be published by the Antimonopoly Service soon after calculations are completed. The service added that the price control period may be extended if necessary.
