The Competition Committee has assisted several enterprises in the Jizzakh region in recalculating their debts for natural gas, as reported by the agency's press service.
Businesses from the mining sector and representatives of automotive gas stations approached the regional office. They accused the state company "Hududgazta'minot" and its branch "Hududgaz Jizzakh" of issuing unjustified debts.
Following these complaints, the Committee conducted an investigation. "Hududgazta'minot" was instructed to remove from the electronic system the information regarding the unjustified debt amounting to 3.7 billion sums.
Amid a sharp rise in propane prices, on November 5, the Committee ordered the establishment of a price ceiling for trading on the commodity exchange. The limitation is set at 20% of the initial price established by the seller.
Sources from Spot described the agency's decision as an artificial attempt to control exchange quotations. According to them, this restricts competition since all participants can propose the maximum allowed price.
Previously, Spot reported that the Competition Committee secured a refund of 100 million sums for customers from marketplaces.
