PM Comments on Energy Price Hikes, Gov’t Measures

The average rise in electricity prices until November 2021 in the EU was 27% and the price of natural gas for households grew by 40%, he said.

Croatia has been an exception and that fact should be respected. It is primarily owing to measures that have been taken to cap fuel prices as well as the mechanisms at the government’s disposal, thanks to which the price hikes have not been felt in Croatia during the current heating season, Plenković said.

He repeated that in the country prices of electricity and natural gas would not go up until 1 April and the end of the heating season, adding that the government was regularly analyzing the situation and that a few weeks ago it started preparing legislative changes to prevent drastic price hikes.

The PM said that in the weeks to come the government would take further steps to alleviate the impact of price increases, using all tools available, such as VAT reduction, vouchers, etc, while taking care that macroeconomic stability was maintained.
