Nikolai Pereslavsky, employee of the Department of Economic and Financial Studies at the CMS Institute, told the agency “Hitting the Primer”The opinion of the people that during the collapse of the ruble the prices of some goods “rise” and seem to freeze at the same levels, is wrong.
Therefore, the expert noted that the cost of prices for some goods is not higher than 20-25% from the beginning of February, which is in the framework of inflation.
At the same time, Pereslavsky noted that it is important to remember the exit of foreign companies from the Russian market, and therefore a real shortage was noticed in many categories of goods. First of all, we are talking about auto parts, construction equipment and finishing materials, computer components and network equipment.
First of all, the economist stressed that goods that are no longer imported or their manufacturers stop business. According to him, if the parallel import mechanism is weeded out, prices may start to change drastically towards the consumer.
“They won’t be like they were in January, but the discount on current prices could still go up to 30%,” Pereslavsky said.
the previous day became knownthat the dollar fell below 71 rubles. for the first time since November last year and the euro fell to 70 rubles. First time since February 2020.
