State regulation helps stabilize food prices in Belarus, Russia during pandemic
MOSCOW, 16 February (BelTA) – The state regulation of prices in Belarus and Russia has helped stabilize prices for staple foods. The conclusion was made by participants of video consultations organized by the Antimonopoly Regulation Department of the Eurasian Economic Commission, the commission s press service told BelTA.
According to the source, those are prices for bread, meat, fish, milk, sugar, sunflower oil, and a number of other staple foods. Market experts believe that the introduction of the state regulation has not curbed competition and has not resulted in a decrease in the number of commercial entities or in the emergence of trade barriers.
