The economist gives a grim forecast.
If the geopolitical situation does not improve, we will face an increase in heating costs this autumn, electricity will also become more expensive, and gas will likely rise in price as well. "The Inčukalns gas storage facility has significantly emptied due to the current cold winter, and this means that we will need to replenish gas supplies - already at high prices," warned economist and rector of the University of Latvia Gundars Berziņš in an interview with TV-24.
The rise in energy resource costs will also drive up the prices of other goods and services.
