The recent increase in gas supply tariffs will primarily impact industrial enterprises and businesses, as the moratorium on energy price hikes for the population remains in effect.
However, as companies incur higher costs, these expenses will be passed down the supply chain, inevitably leading to an increase in prices for most goods and services.
According to Popenko, food prices may rise by 10–20% in the first half of 2025, while electricity costs could increase by 5–20%.
Additionally, electricity tariffs for the public may undergo further changes starting June 1, 2025: it is projected that the price per kilowatt will reach 6.32–6.64 UAH, which could increase the financial burden on citizens.
