Monitoring prices intensified: no shortage of goods on store shelves

25 февраля 2021
There will be no shortage of goods on the shelves, and food and medicine will become more affordable. Strict control of pricing of socially important goods has been introduced in Belarus.

The government has set the maximum allowable increase in prices of essential goods. There are 62 items in total. These are foods, non-food items and half a hundred of medicines. Their price will not change until the end of February. But from March, it will be changed only by 0.2% per month. The new rules apply to both public and private stores. Many resources actively discuss the government's decision and predict empty shelves in Belarus. The Ministry of Agriculture assures us: we will definitely have enough products and goods.

Monitoring of the price situation is intensifying

MART constantly monitors the situation. Distortions on the part of producers or trade are stopped. The assortment list for some goods makes it possible to avoid shortages and give the buyer a choice. Recently, however, the price fluctuations have also been driven up by the world market. This explains the strict control by the Government.
