The first. A special situation has developed on the market: imports decreased by 30–40%, the competition weakened, and the companies calmly tolerate any costs of consumers. For example, this is noticeable in the food market: the price of vegetables has increased by an average of 20–25%over the past year, despite seasonal fluctuations. Or in the case of the prices of monopolies.
The second. There is & quot; the effect of the ratchet & quot;: Prices are dramatically rising when the situation is worsening (for example, weakening the currency rate by 10-15%), but practically do not decrease if the situation improves. As a result, consumers bear constant additional costs.
the third. The rate of the Central Bank, which is traditionally designed to suppress inflation, now only accelerates it. The interest payments of Russian loans increased by almost 40%, significantly increasing their costs. These additional expenses of the company are again transferred to the final prices.
the fourth. Today's inflation is about half formed due to the increase in demand (salaries increased by an average of 12-15% per year), and half due to growth in costs, such as the cost of electricity and fuel (15–20% higher than last year's levels).
What sentences sounded?
1. A point fight against monopolies and regional cartels: active stimulation of new small and medium -sized manufacturers to the market.
2. Changing the approach of the Central Bank: instead of mechanical raising bets - targeted support of enterprises producing everyday demand and agricultural products, through subsidies and special credit programs.
3. The use of currency interventions to smooth out sharp fluctuations in the course to avoid inflation jumps and stabilize domestic prices.
without such systemic and targeted measures, the inflation situation will not improve, and its consequences will be more strongly affected by the well -being of the population and the competitiveness of the economy.
