Natural gas has been increased, with immediate effect, by 22.5%. Since Jan. 2008, the price has increased by 75%. The State Owned Gas Co. (BOTAS) said the increase is due to the price of Oil, the Exchange Rate and Inflation. Critics say the Govt. is trying to pay the BOTAS debts off, ready for Privatisation. You may think that this increase only affects the areas that use Natural Gas, but be warned, electricity is generated using Natural Gas, and so will be reflected in the Jan. price hike for Electricity. Inflation is running at 12%, don't know which Abacus they use !!!!!
