It is extended and completed on June 30th the power of the ceiling on the profit margin in food, basic living items and fuel, at the rate that existed until December 31, 2021, according to relevant amendment who filed today (30.4.2025) to Parliament by the Minister of Development, Takis Theodorikakos.
The amendment tabled by Mr Theodorikakos also provides for the extension of the 21 October 2025 of the Household Basket, the mandatory announcement of price prices and the prices of fruit and vegetables and the ban on bids and discounts on products that had been honored in the previous three months.
As the Minister of Development pointed out in his position, these measures were an important tool for supervision of the market and consumer protection. “This is a particularly strict measure and through the market controls, it has greatly helped to diminish food inflation and inflation in basic living types,” he said, adding: “In this area, Greece currently has the lowest inflation.”
At the same time, Mr Theodorikakos announced that the Ministry of Development has already prepared a new framework for structural reforms for consumer protection and market supervision, which will be discussed at the next cabinet.
