Supermarkets: Sufficient Supply and Control of Price Gouging

The executive secretary of the Pan-Cypriot Supermarkets Association, Andreas Hadjiadamou, attributed concerns about the cost of the Easter table to exaggerations, assuring that there is a full supply of products. He pointed out that lamb prices are comparable to last year and condemns price gouging in other sectors, such as liquefied petroleum gas. The Association closely monitors the market and calls for responsibility, while emphasizing that competition between supermarkets benefits consumers. Finally, he warned that careless statements about price increases could reinforce exploitation.
