The Fjarðabyggð Municipal Council proposes that all tariffs in Section A of the municipality be reduced by 3% starting next month, as part of supporting the inflation target and easing the burden on households in the municipality.
Municipalities play an important role in the economy and thus have an impact on cost developments in society. By lowering tariffs, Fjarðabyggð send a clear message that the municipality intends to contribute to reducing inflationary pressures and increasing the disposable income of residents.
The City Council believes that there is room for this reduction based on improved operating results and targeted financial management.
The city council also encourages the government to take similar action at its own level, by reviewing state tariffs and reducing levies where there is room for improvement.
