The adoption of the Code of Competition is important for anti -inflationary measures, today at a meeting of the Committee of the Milli Majlis on Economic Policy, Industry and Entrepreneurship, deputy Ali Masimli.
According to him, damage to the population as a result of artificial increase in prices exceeds 500 million manat per year.
“The increase in prices in Azerbaijan depends on the imports, economic development and steps of monopolists. An annual inflation was predicted at 4%, and as a result, it amounted to 14.6%. The goods of the consumer consumption went up at the range of 20-92%,” the deputy added .
According to Masimli, a particularly strong blow to the family budget inflicts a rise in price of drugs.
