Economists Viatceslav Ionitese and Vyacheslav Ionita have stated that the Republic of Moldova is purchasing natural gas at an average of 28-30% more expensive than the average European price. The high prices are attributed to a monopolistic market, with one supplier controlling approximately 93% of the gas market in Moldova. Residential consumers in Moldova currently pay 26.14 lei for one cubic meter of gas, compared to prices ranging from 3.1 lei in Ukraine to 13.9 lei in Italy. The experts suggest considering not only the price per cubic meter but also the income of the population when comparing gas costs.
