The biggest increase in goods is in the price of mineral water. Two companies that offer 1.5-liter mineral water have increased their prices by 40% in just two weeks.
This was said on the morning block of bTV by the executive director of the National Revenue Agency (NRA), Rumen Spetsov.
"I am not saying that the chain has raised the price. It is possible that the manufacturer has raised the delivery price, we are currently checking everything", he added. And he asked: “I want to know what is the reason for the increase in price of two specific brands of mineral water by 40% within two weeks?".
The National Revenue Agency has detected an increase in the price of bread, meat, cheese, eggs, minced meat, and oil. A 25% increase in food prices has been established. 150 sites in 30 cities in the country are being inspected.
800 people are involved in inspecting store prices.
According to Spetsov, the employees are enough to convince merchants to return the old food prices from June 1.
Spetsov also commented on the reproaches directed at him about the work of the National Revenue Agency, highlighting the increased treasury revenues since his arrival in the structure. In 2021, we had revenues of 27.4 billion. BGN, last year's budget was BGN 42 billion, overfulfilled, this year's budget is BGN 52 billion, he said.
Rumen Spetsov also commented on the topic of Hristo Kovachki. The topic of "Hristo Kovachki" is not new for the NRA, he explained.
Spetsov denied being a neighbor of Hristo Kovachki in Dubai and explained that he did not know which of his properties had good views of Dubai.
