Ibraev emphasized: "All coal wagons being loaded in Balakchy will be directed to the Chui Valley. We live in a rich country, and there is enough coal for everyone. However, citizens only start stockpiling coal with the first snow. In August, when the stripping works began, we urged people to stock up on fuel in advance. Currently, we are selling coal at the deposit for 2,500 soms, while its price reaches 8,000 soms in the markets. "Kyrgyzkomur" offers coal for 5,800 soms. Drivers earn between 60,000 and 90,000 soms per trip. To avoid speculation, the State Anti-Monopoly Agency is monitoring prices," he noted.
