And supermarkets have been restricted in the growth of food prices.
The cost of domestically produced cars will increase in Russia. Already, AvtoVAZ has increased the cost of Lada cars by an average of 15%. Before that, the price tags changed by only 1-3%, the journalists note.
The publication “Rise” tried to get a comment from AvtoVAZ, but they refused to talk about price increases. The carmaker was asked to “understand them.”
At the same time, the price of the Largus station wagon has increased by 30%, now the car costs from 1 million rubles. The price of the Niva Legend model has risen to 777 thousand rubles (by 9%, this is the least).
Against the background of the rise in price of domestic cars, the giants Volvo, General Motors, Volkswagen, Daimler Truck, Scania left Russia. Motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson also suspended deliveries.
Telegram channel BAZA reports that price tags have begun to change in the Moscow Central Department Store. From March 1, luxury clothing will rise in price by 20-30%.
The night before, price tags began to be re-glued – discounts were removed from old collections. Prices will rise for clothing Prada, Gucci, Tom Ford, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, Yves Saint Laurent, Dior
“As for the availability of goods, so far most of them are available for purchase, but this is only for now. Some of the representatives of luxury brands interviewed by the “Base” said that they were afraid of a delay in further deliveries,” writes BAZA.
The State Duma warned that you can not wait for price spikes and empty shelves in pharmacies. Deputy Yevgeny Nifantiev stressed that all vital medicines are under control, and sellers and suppliers are working as planned.
At the same time, as Izvestia writes, wholesalers raised purchase prices for pharmacies by 1.5%, depending on the region, by 25%. According to Victoria Presnyakova, head of the Alliance of Pharmaceutical Associations, there is an increase in both imported and domestic drugs. If we take into account that pharmacies do not make stocks, then some drugs will become more expensive either in the near future or have already become more expensive.
Russians have already begun to make stocks of imported medicines, since last week there has been a demand for drugs for chronic diseases. But experts are sure that interruptions in the supply of medicines can not be expected.
Another problem faced by restaurateurs in Russia. According to Kommersant, the establishments had to redesign the menu, which has imported products. Moreover, it is difficult to replace it with Russian analogues. It is also noted that Russian suppliers of products have begun to raise prices for their products.
So, in Boris Zarkov’s White Rabbit Family restaurant, tuna was replaced, which was supplied from Japan. They removed positions in the Meat & Fish network – they referred to violations of the logistics of products – there are difficulties in the delivery of sea cargo across the Black Sea.
Experts said that in the restaurants of the middle segment and haute cuisine, about 40% of the products are imported. It is already clear that some of the products will disappear altogether – it will be difficult to replace tuna, arugula, octopus, olive oil.
The end consumer will feel the changes due to rising prices – this is due to both the exchange rate and the increase in logistics costs. Restaurateurs predict that they will begin to lose income.
Meanwhile, the Federal Antimonopoly Service has limited Auchan, Atak, Magnit, OK to a 5% increase in prices for sugar, bread, dairy products and vegetables for borscht.
