KYIV, Jan 15 – Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said Friday the government will come up with an annual plan that will allow households pay steady tariffs for natural gas throughout the year.

Shmyhal responded to concerns expressed by the International Monetary Fund of imminent introduction of state controls in the energy sector and lowering gas prices by 30% within two weeks.

"The state company Naftogaz and other gas suppliers will calculate the price of their annual plan and offer the households a fixed price," Shmyhal said.
