Prices traditionally rise on the eve of holidays in Ukraine. So, the products that are included in the Easter basket may rise in price. Oleg Pendzin, a member of the Economic Discussion Club, spoke about this on the air of a nationwide telethon, Facts ICTV writes..

The expert emphasized that prices for meat, sausage, butter, cottage cheese, pasta will change by Easter. According to him, food prices traditionally rise in Ukraine before the holidays, which is quite understandable, since demand is increasing, but this year it will be moderate - up to 10%..

“When we talk about eggs, their prices have increased by 80% over the year, but over the past two months we have had a slight price plateau, that is, they have more or less stabilized... Therefore, there will hardly be an increase in the near future, but before Easter,.

The expert predicts that other products included in the Easter basket will also rise in price, but not by 20-25%.

“So I want to reassure people, because they simply won’t have enough money to keep prices going up.”. We must understand that in 2022 the real incomes of Ukrainians fell by 25%, so there will definitely be nothing to fuel such a rise in prices before the holidays.. But within 10% - 5-7-8% - such a small increase associated with an increase in demand should certainly be expected,"

Pendzin added that such growth may relate to meat, dairy products, but, for example, expensive brands of cheese will definitely not rise in price even more..

“This year there will definitely not be a dizzying rise in prices before the holidays. Because there is no deficit, the incomes of the population have fallen, so the price increase will be moderate,” the expert concluded..

Previously, analysts predicted when the price of eggs may decrease in Ukraine.
