But the crisis, first of all, touches the small business, which before the crisis was not exactly thriving, so business must also reduce their costs, and how to reduce them? During 2015 the electricity tariff rose by 9%, the water tariff rose several times, and now the heating 3 times ", - said the head of the branch.
Currently, entrepreneurs are preparing a collective appeal to RCE and requests to the state bodies to resolve the situation.
