The increase in prices in Bulgaria is less and less and in March it returned to July 2021 levels. This is shown by the data of the National Statistics, which were announced today.
„This is somewhat good news. But, on the other hand, I have to say what has been bothering me for years. This year there was a salary increase, and as paradoxical as it sounds - I am worried about these increases. Because those who give such money in advance, most often have a plan how to take it from us with a top. This can't help but worry me”, said the president of KT “Support” Dimitar Manolov.
Just because the price increase has returned to the level of 2021 does not mean that prices have returned to the same level. This means that they are growing as fast as they were then, which probably makes some sense outside of Bulgaria. Because we have very little influence on this process. Our inflation, in its huge part, is mostly imported, he explained.
According to him, there is a possibility that the prices of electricity and heat may rise from July 1. “Politicians are already starting to prepare us that the money in the Energy Security Fund is gone. The funds with which the companies should be compensated, if they are not there, who will take this difference?”, he asked and expressed fears that we may end up in the situation of paying electricity at such a price as the electricity distribution companies will buy it. .
