"If we do not reach some kind of agreement, like the one in France - that the market participants themselves impose a ceiling on some prices for a certain period of time, we will impose a ceiling on markups.

Initially, the idea was for this ceiling to be between 20% and 25%, now we are more inclined towards 10%".

This was stated in the program "Why, Mr. Minister" on BTV by the acting Minister of Economy, Nikola Stoyanov

Nikola Stoyanov was born in 1976 in Sofia.

Graduated in Law at Sofia University.

He specified that the ceiling will depend on how many products it will be in effect for - the more there are, the higher it will be.

"We have been fighting prices since January last year.

In February, we formalized this struggle, let me emphasize – with prices, not with retail chains.

We certainly haven't achieved the results we want yet, nor did we expect it to happen quickly.

On the one hand, there are structural problems that have been accumulated for years, which we do not think we can solve at the moment, but we can give proposals to the parliament when it meets to solve them," explained Stoyanov.
