When predictability and fundamental market principles are undermined, it becomes essential to respond, as reflected in the Government’s measures imposing price caps and profit margin controls.
This Position Paper acknowledges the serious pressures caused by rising prices but challenges the Government’s approach and questions its effectiveness in addressing inflationary pressures.
The paper underscores that the national economy, and particularly the food sector, is exposed to deep structural vulnerabilities, largely due to high import dependence. It emphasizes that achieving long-term price stability requires a more systematic and sustainable approach, rather than relying on temporary interventions that risk further distorting the market. Among the key recommendations is the formation of a joint working group composed of public and private sector representatives, along with other stakeholders, to develop a sustainable roadmap for addressing these challenges.
