This year, tariffs for housing and communal services in Belarus will not change.

What the Ministry of Housing and Utilities said about housing and utilities tariffs
As Filanovich explained, housing and communal services tariffs cannot be increased by more than half the base amount (20 rubles) per year.
According to the law, housing and communal services tariffs are revised twice a year, from January 1 and June 1.
This year, according to a representative of the Ministry of Housing and Utilities, the tariffs will not change. Next year, tariff adjustments will be considered individually, taking into account the cost of energy resources, accumulated costs and planned and estimated prices.
Filanovich noted that this year September actually became the fourth month of summer, which allowed Belarusians to save on heating.
The representative of the Ministry of Housing and Public Utilities also noted that the state subsidizes three-quarters of heating costs.
