According to Churkina, the anticipated increase in housing and communal services tariffs for 2026-2027, as indicated by the Ministry of Economic Development's latest April forecast, has experienced a substantial upward revision compared to the initial predictions. The planned increase for 2026 has jumped from 5.4% to 9.8%, while for 2027, the figure has surged from 4.8% to 7.9%.
