The next increase in utility bills is expected by Russians from July 1, 2017. On the instructions of the Cabinet, tariffs for citizens will grow by 4%. But this is an average for the country. In fact, the amounts in payments in different regions will change in different ways. Most will have to fork out to Muscovites.

Every year in the middle of summer, Russians fear with fear of payment of housing and communal services - by the decision of the government, from July 1, there is a recalculation of tariffs for utilities, which takes into account the actual increase in prices for gas, electricity, as well as inflation and the expected socioeconomic development of the country in the near future. The growth index approved by the government can be adjusted by local authorities taking into account the characteristics of the region. And it turns out that the change in payment for utilities is uneven.

So, from July 1, the most will increase tariffs for Muscovites - by 7%. Residents of St. Petersburg, Yakutia and Kamchatka will pay more 6%. In the Kemerovo region, the amount in payments will rise by 5.9%, in the Tyumen region - by 5.4%, in the Primorsky Territory, in the Irkutsk and Sverdlovsk regions - by 5%. In the Moscow region, the average tariff for the region will increase by 4%, in Leningrad - by 3.8%, in Dagestan and Kabardino-Balkaria - by 3.3%, in the Altai Territory - by 3.2%. The least expensive increase in utility services in North Ossetia-Alania - by 2.5%.

However, a number of experts believe that the index of tariff increase for the population is not so much economically justified, as explained by the financial capabilities of the population.

"All of our tariff regulation has nothing to do with economic calculations and solving problems to improve the quality of services. The simplest logic. With whom you can take more, for example, from Muscovites and Petrograders, for those and raise, "- said RIA Novosti executive director of NP" Housing and Communal Services "Svetlana Razvorotneva.

Recall that Russians, whose utility costs exceed 22% of the total income of the family, can count on the allocation of a cash subsidy.

Earlier it became known about the growth of pensions in 2018.
