The difference between the producer price and the selling price was commented on by Georgi Vuldjev, economist and chief.

editor of EKIP, and Lyubomir Datsov, former Deputy Minister of Finance before NOVA NEWS.

Datsov said that a key issue is how to fight inflation.

He indicated the reasons for the economic situation in the country.

Datsov said that in recent years there has been pressure on prices and producers have kept prices low, thus operating at a loss.

In this environment, they raised the prices to be able to work, he specified.

The financier pointed out that the problem is why it is more expensive to produce in Bulgaria than in the West.

Vuldzhev commented on the words of the Minister of Agriculture that an official website will be created, with which it will be possible to monitor the movement and price comparison.

He said that would do no good.

Datsov said that the main problem is that we produce expensive food and imports are difficult.

Vuldzhev said retail prices should be monitored.

The economist is of the opinion that it is "a bad idea to impose price caps".

In Hungary, they tried to do such a thing and it reflected as higher inflation in other goods, he added.

Datsov said that

there is no way to reduce prices when there is demand

.

Vuldzhev said that either production should be increased or consumption should be reduced.
