“Black Friday this week and it looks like it started with the new prices on the “Household Basket“. The first assessment of the new prices shows that out of 816 products, 60 have increased and 167 decreased while 589 remain the same. The most important thing: all the chains have a reduction”, pointed out the Minister of Development and Investments, Mr. Adonis Georgiadis.
