The price of a standard gas cylinder will go down to €17 from €18 in March and April, the govern-ment said.
In a statement, the government said the price for a 12-kilo cylinder was cheaper than it had been in the past three years. The price for a cylinder in April 2012 was €19.70.
The government said that through a policy of price stability, Maltese consumers were benefiting from a very low inflation rate – reducing uncertainty and making it easier for businesses and families to plan.
The Energy Ministry thanked Liquigas for its cooperation to ensure stability in gas prices, as well as the Malta Resources Authority.
