translated from Spanish: Update Maximum Prices with up to 6% raises: How much does each product increase?

This Wednesday the list of the Maximum Prices plan is updated, with ups ranging from 2% to 6%, as reported by the Government through Provision 14/2020 published this morning in the Official Gazette. The measure seeks to provide a reference in what consumers pay to guide the rest of the products, therefore trying to moderate inflation.

In this way, the program was renewed for 30 more days. The increases, as detailed in the Official Gazette, will be made on values adjusted to July 14 of this year, corresponding to Provision 13/2020 of the Undersecretariat for Actions for the Defense of Consumers of the Secretariat of Internal Trade of the Ministry of Productive Development.In previous resolutions, the national government stresses that the shops within the programme, which are the large supermarket chains, must have the lists of products something that is not the case today. This measure will begin to govern from today and will remain in force for the duration of Internal Trade Secretariat Resolution No. 100/20, which states that the program “will be valid for thirty (30) days, a period that may be extended if necessary”.
