“Those who think that the household basket will not work are wrong,” said Mr. Georgiadis, emphasizing that “we are interested in the consumer finding a lower price.”
The Minister of Development and Investments, Adonis Georgiadis, was in a supermarket in Galatsi this morning, as he had announced by presenting the total value for the “household basket” per supermarket.
“We are in the second week of the implementation of the measure, because many doubted that the measure would work and believed that it was a communication firework” he emphasized and noted:
“Of the products that had entered the household basket last week, 644 remained exactly the same, same packaging, same product. Of these two have gone up, in chain with big declines in all others, 101 have a lower price this week and 541 have the same prices”.
As the minister said, in the total value of the basket, most baskets, in most chains, if you add them up, have a lower price this week than they had last week.
“Those who think that the household basket will not work are wrong,” said Mr. Georgiadis, emphasizing that “we are interested in the consumer finding a lower price.”
He asked supermarkets to step up their efforts for the household basket and announced fines for those who do not comply. In particular, he emphasized that an amendment will be submitted to the Parliament today for the labeling and adequacy of the products participating in the product price observatory.
“We all have to back off. We are not going to relax. Until the end of winter I will be every Wednesday at the supermarket with the lowest pricesconcluded the minister.
