Russian antitrust sees no unjustifiable growth of gasoline prices

MOSCOW, Mar 1 (PRIME) -- Russia’s Federal Antimonopoly Service doesn’t expect an unjustifiable growth of gasoline prices this year; the growth will correspond to inflation, Deputy Director Anatoly Golomolzin told reporters Tuesday.

“It is now difficult to predict precisely the dynamics of prices (for gasoline in 2016), because there are many contributing factors… The current situation is under control, there will not be an unjustifiable growth of prices,” he said.

The antimonopoly service expects that gasoline prices will change close to the inflation pace, he also said.
