100,000 microbusinesses to remain in regulated utilities price scheme

The government issued a decree on Friday allowing close to 100,000 microbusinesses to continue to participate in the regulated utilities price scheme for households, the Technology and Industry Ministry said.

To keep those microbusinesses running, participation in the regulated utilities price scheme will be allowed until the end of 2022, the ministry said. Local council flats and hostels may also continue to participate in the scheme, it added.
