From November 1, the decision of the Energy Regulatory Agency (ERE) to increase the price of electricity, in peak hours for bakeries and pastry shops, comes into force.
Prices will increase by 15% for all categories, depending on the type of bakery activity. This increase will be applied in the winter period from 18:00-22:00 and in the spring-summer period from 19:00-23:00. For the first category, which includes only bakeries, the price will increase from 7.6 ALL to 8.74 ALL/kWh.
This increase in the price of electricity is expected to affect the increase in the price of bread.
While she was invited to the show "7pa5" on Vizion Plus, the economy expert Romina Radonshiqi gave her solution for this situation, in order not to increase the price of bread.
"But we know very well that bakeries actually have cost increases. The salaries of the employees are high. But it's a problem with all traders, that as soon as a decision comes out they tend to raise prices.
Even before November came, there was a communication that there will be an increase in the price of bread. This increase will be 15-20 ALL. Which is actually a lot for a basket product, so with a simple account all pension indexation goes to bread.
As long as it is time bound, then the bakeries have it solved. They should not produce at that hour and thus the cost does not increase and therefore the price of bread does not increase either", says Radonshiqi.
According to the economy expert, our living costs are almost the same as EU countries. The average salary that families should have to make a normal living should be 100 thousand ALL.
