Greece Achieves Second Lowest Food Inflation in Eurozone

The combined measures and policies of the Ministry of Development have resulted in Greece achieving the second lowest food inflation among Eurozone countries in March, according to the ministry. The Ministry of Development highlighted this achievement based on Eurostat data showing that Greece’s food inflation was at 1.7%, compared to the Eurozone average of 2.9%. Specifically, as noted by the Ministry: ‘Greece has the second lowest food inflation among Eurozone countries. According to Eurostat’s March estimates, our country’s food inflation settled at 1.7%, against an average of 2.9% in Eurozone countries. This development is a result of the combination of measures and policies from the Ministry of Development (intensive checks for price control enforcement, implementation of the new Code of Ethics). It is evident that these checks will continue and intensify during the Easter holiday period to protect consumers and disposable income. Simultaneously, the e-katanalotis.gr platform was upgraded, allowing consumers to compare products and prices and make informed decisions.’ Source: APE-MPE.
