TEHRAN Jan 06 (Shana): The price of oil products may rise by 30 percent in next Iranian fiscal year budget, beginning 21 March 2014, a member of energy committee of Parliament said.
Speaking to Shana, Amir Abbas Soltani further said that the next year budget has paid a special attention to funding development of shared oil fields, mainly because the country is lagging behind its neighbors in oil and gas extraction from shared fields.


On NIGC�s proposal on raising natural gas prices in next year budget, Soltani said:� generally, Majlis disagrees with higher prices but the body may discuss rising gas prices by maximum 30 percent.


�Sudden rise of energy carriers including natural gas, gasoline and gasoil may influence economic conditions negatively�, the lawmaker told Shana.
