The head of the parliamentary committee on construction, transport, housing and communal services and communications, Valeriy Pustovoytenko, is confident that in 2005 housing in Ukraine will become more expensive by another third. He stated this on Sunday evening in an interview with the program "Business World. The Week" on UT-1. "Statistics show that over the last three years the cost of housing has been growing by approximately 30-35% per year. And I think that this trend will persist (in 2005), because, unfortunately, I do not see stability today," Pustovoytenko stated. Pustovoytenko also noted: "Kyiv today has surpassed Europe - that is unequivocal. There are no free plots in the capital, and they will become more and more expensive. Especially since the situation with the preparation of these sites, communal services and communal provision of buildings remains very difficult." Pustovoytenko also added that the increase in housing prices is influenced, first of all, by the processes "taking place in the state - tariffs are rising for transport, electricity, gas, metal, today they have started talking about other areas, that is, it all goes in circles."
