Uncontrolled Increase in Food Prices in the Donetsk People's Republic

The article presents the results of an analysis of prices for goods included in the New Year's table, as well as an analysis of prices for socially significant goods for 2022-2023. It is established that the reason for the current situation is the lack of state regulation of prices. To solve this problem, it is proposed to assign the functions of price control for socially important goods to the Ministry of Industry and Trade; adopt a resolution on the regulation of prices for socially important goods, which takes into account the notification principle of price setting, the mechanism for agreeing on increases in selling prices, and the provision of wholesale discounts from selling prices.
