KIEV, April 10 – Ukraine hopes the price of imported gas will continue to fall, which will boost the competitiveness of domestic industry and ensure a balanced gas price for households, according to Energy and Coal Industry Minister Volodymyr Demchyshyn.

"We expect that in the next two quarters we'll be able to buy gas at a price lower than $250 [per 1,000 cubic meters]," he said in parliament on Friday.
