The NBS study underlines the negative impact of the liberalization of energy prices and the VAT increase on people's incomes, estimating an inflation of almost 10% that will affect especially low-income people. Electricity prices are expected to become among the highest in the EU, exacerbating energy poverty. The NBS proposes support measures and regular assessments of the economic situation to protect vulnerable consumers.
