“Consumers should be aware that this year we will not have at all appreciation in school products“The Secretary General of Commerce, Sotiris Anagnostopoulos, emphasized today (31.8.2025), according to Ertnews.
He added: “In fact, we are expecting some slight reductions in some categories, but there will certainly be no price. However, a very good market research is needed by consumers themselves, because market research is the one that ensures that the expenses we make for school, for school products, will be as small as possible with the best possible quality.
Consumers should use all channels, either the natural stores or the internet, which is very good and useful for comparisons. So, if they use search engines, consumers will easily see that there is a very large price scale in all products. School bags, pencils, pen and cheaper and more expensive. And anyone can choose what he wants. “
It is recalled that Development Minister Takis Theodorikakos, after meeting last week with supermarket representatives, said: “In the following days and weeks, families with children in school age are in the center of their interests. Following a meeting I had with the supermarket representatives, the prices in school supplies were committed to remaining stable compared to 2024. It is undoubtedly a positive development that I hope for other businesses will follow.
We continue the same effort with new initiatives, market controls and new measures that we will announce to all basic food and living in the coming period, with the aim of maintaining life costs and increasing the available income of families. “
