Concurrently to an increase in gas tariffs on April 1, 2010, prices
at gas stations also went up, reaching AMD 200 per 1 kg instead of
the previous AMD 180.

As a PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent was told at the transport department
of Yerevan Mayor’s Office and at the RA Ministry of Transport and
Communication, transport workers have not requested price increase
so far.

The gas prices in Armenia went up from AMD 96 to 132 per cu m.

Enterprises consuming over 10 000 cubic meters monthly pay $243.13
per 1000 cu m. The Public Services Regulatory Commission explained
the 37% rise in prices for population and 13% for enterprises by a 17%
up for Russian gas, AMD/USD reference exchange rate, 20% reduction in
natural gas consumption and necessity to compensate ArmRosgazprom’s
investments.
