All the privileges offered by the government to Moldovagaz are not enough even to cover the August losses - Veaceslav Ionita.
According to the economic expert, the VAT deferral provided to Moldovagaz for April-July amounts to 165 million lei. At the same time, gas consumption during this time amounted to 120 million cubic meters. At the price of 17.24 lei per 1 cubic meter without VAT, the state budget should be paid 165 million lei of VAT obligations. However, tariff deviations only in August will amount to 300-335 million lei, depending on consumption. Veaceslav Ionita reminded that Moldovagaz buys gas at a price of 1,459 per 1,000 cubic meters or 28.16 lei per 1 cubic meter. In the first 12 days of the month, the company sold gas to the population at 17.24 lei per 1 cubic meter, and then at 22.3 lei per 1 cubic meter. For economic agents gas is cheaper on average by 11%. Even so, the privileges offered by the government to Moldovagaz are not enough even to cover the August losses. According to the expert, it was most likely decided not to pay in summer, but better in winter, because then it would be easier. Veaceslav Ionita hopes that the authorities know what they are doing and have a top-secret plan that no one knows about. // 17.08.2022 - InfoMarket
