TIRANA, September 28/ATA/ Prime Minister Edi Rama said last evening on television that the bread price going up was a consequence of the export tax that Russia, the biggest wheat exporter in Europe, imposed.
He argued that the VAT lifting would have no effect on cutting the price for the consumers. The prime minister said that the system we apply does not function on the will of the government to set prices, but on the bases of the market.
PM Rama said that price of the bread has got increased 3 times over the past 8 years.
The prime minister considered a fancy all views on setting prices. And he reminded the opposition leader Lulzim Basha promising to cut the price of bread while going from one shop to the other when he was running for Tirana mayor./j.p/p.s./
