Thus, alcohol and tobacco products remain the leaders in price increases in Ukraine. And the average price increase in the country is about 11,5%.
The largest increase in prices for vodka and cigarettes based on the results of 8 months of this year was observed in the Rivne region (+18%), Zaporozhye and Volyn regions (+16%), as well as in Kiev, Kyiv and Kharkov regions (+15%).
The second place in the ranking of price increases is taken by food products.
Let us remind you that since September 9, due to the revision of the minimum retail prices for alcohol, alcohol has become more expensive in Ukraine. At the same time, according to experts, the government decided to increase prices for alcohol only 7-8 months after the increase in excise taxes, which “gave illegal immigrants the opportunity to earn colossal sums.”
