YEREVAN, MARCH 10, NOYAN TAPAN. Data on those trade points that raised
prices of some living essentials under the pretext of the exchange rate
fluctuations on March 3-6 was sent by the RA State Commission for
Protection of Economic Competition to the RA State Revenue Committee.
The list was sent to the State Revenue Committee with the request to
take into account the fact that these trade points had sold goods at
high prices when the Committee conducts checks at the indicated trade
points.
According to a press release of the Commission, the information from
marzes shows that granulated sugar, butter, vegetable oil, rice and
flour are sold there at higher prices than in Yerevan. The State
Revenue Committee will conduct checks of economic entities in marzes as
well.
At the same time it is noted that the economic entities operating in
the flour market have reduced the supply prices of flour to the level
that existed before the price increase. Granulated sugar is sold at 245
drams at retail trade points (its price was raised to 270 drams).
Proceedings have been initiated in the markets of medicines, domestic
appliances, vegetable oil and butter, and monitoring is being
implemented in other markets.
