Economist Maxim Dovgyallo noted that interference in the fight against prices will not solve the underlying problems, such as the discrepancy between planned and real budget expenditures. According to Alexei Petropolsky, a businessman and legal expert at Opora Rossii, the rise in prices is due to the country's dependence on imported goods and the devaluation of the ruble. He believes that the FAS should control monopolists, but interference in market processes can only aggravate the situation.
The head of the Central Bank Elvira Nabiullina earlier said that the acceleration of inflation was caused by a poor harvest and rising tariffs, so the government abolished customs duties on certain goods to stabilize the market.
However, experts, including Alexander Vinogradov, head of the St. Petersburg Consumer Rights Protection Society “Potrebnadzor”, believe that government intervention can only make producers temper their appetites, but in the long run, price regulation in a market economy will only lead to a shortage of goods. Commissioner for Consumer Protection of Moscow Alexander Luboserdov also warned that administrative regulation of prices can only exacerbate the crisis, reports Tsargrad.
