Today, the NKR Prime Minister has conducted a conference with
the Executives of a number of companies engaged in trading
activities. First, the Prime Minister conveyed dissatisfaction of
the authorities to the participants towards the fact that yesterday,
in connection with the dollar rate increase separate trading points
stopped their work causing a panic among the population. In some
grocery stores the prices of separate products were sharply raised,
which at the moment can’t be defined as a reasonable market step. The
head of the Government clarified that the cost of dollar, as it was
expected, rose by 15-20 percent and a corresponding increase of prices
can be recorded on part of some imported products. A.Haroutyunyan
regarded the strivings of those, who try to make super profit of the
situation inadmissible.

A task was set before the companies engaged in trading activities
to continue their regular activity and to carry on explanatory work
among the customers.

High rises in prices are not expected,- the Prime Minister
announced. He assigned a task to the Tax Service and to bodies
occupied with economic competition to take the trade market under a
strong control.
