The issue of unfreezing energy and utility prices and tariffs in Ukraine is both pressing and complex. During the panel discussion by RRR4U*, speakers will examine the challenges associated with a potential gradual lifting of the moratorium on tariff increases, as well as the impact of these processes on the economy, the energy sector, and public welfare.
In addition, experts will present the key trends of the month, assess the prospects for the next IMF program review, and discuss changes in Ukraine’s updated Plan.
