RISE IN PRICES AFTER THE ELECTIONS
On May 31 the Chairman of the Consumers' Association of Armenia Armen Poghosian, who was the guest of the club "Pastark", informed that a rise in prices of consumer goods was recorded after the elections. "It's evident that the rise in some consumer prices is just a consequence of elections". It's natural that all those organizations and individuals, who spent money during the campaign, have an aim and possibility to return their money by raising the prices", explained Armen Poghosian.
He also mentioned that National Statistical Service and the Central Bank had announced that instead of inflation Armenia recorded deflation rate of 0.2 percent. But the Consumers' Association of Armenia cleared up: "Water rose in price for several times, transport prices became 100 drams instead of 40, 50 and 70 drams, and here we have an inflation rate of 200 percent. The prices of vegetables, fruits, dairy products, flour, eggs and meat also rose. The price of bread rose by 10 drams".
Mr. Poghosian informed, "46 percent of the family budget in our country is spent on food; in developed countries it is 25 percent, and if it is more than 25 percent, it is considered the abject level of poverty, and the people receive poverty benefits as a compensation".
"If the prices are not controlled, they will always have tendency to rise in our country. Impunity and decontrolled prices are the reason of high rate of inflation in our country. The currency exchange of dollar has more uneven development in our country, than in neighbor countries, and it influences the rate of inflation", said the chairman of the Consumers' Assocaition of Armenia. He also mentioned, "There is no country that hasn't inflation, but the prices rise parallel with the incomes in these countries, what we cannot say of our country".
"Today only 60 percent of the imported food has labeling in the Armenian language; some goods have no production and expiry dates", he added.
