The state will take urgent measures if prices in stores start going up. Tensions in the Middle East are already impacting global markets, while the Ministry of Economy explains it is carefully monitoring the situation, adding that it’s aware of the possibility of price pressure, especially for products that depend on import and transport.
SDSM, however, has once again called on the government to accept its measures, which have already been submitted to the Parliament through a package of bills.
“The problem for citizens is already here, the spiral of food price increases has been activated”, Spokesperson Bogdanka Kuzeska points out.
However, VMRO-DPMNE has rejected accusations, saying SDSM is hypocritical considering it increased VAT on a large number of food products during its time in power.
