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.
