Tariffs for housing and utilities services in Belarus not to be raised by more than $5 per year

30 июня 2022

Rising prices of housing and communal services should not affect the pockets of the population. This was stated by the Minister of Housing. The day before, the House of Representatives discussed topical issues of functioning of housing and communal services. According to Andrei Khmel, his department has been working in recent years under the instructions of the head of state with a planned increase in prices. The tariffs should not rise  by more than $5 dollars a year. At the same time dedollarization is going on in the country, that is why they are discussing the proposal to peg tariffs to some prime rate.

There should be fewer appeals of citizens in the sphere of housing and communal services

According to the minister, another important task is to reduce the number of  complaints in the sphere of housing and communal services. Today, Belarusians complain most about the maintenance of housing stock, its current repair and improvement.
