Prices for some goods fell in Russia in 2023, but buckwheat, potatoes and gadgets fell especially sharply. In this respect “Evening Moscow” said analyst Daniil Kashin.
According to him, the cost of buckwheat immediately fell by 20%, and the cost of potatoes by 10%. The expert explained this as supply being more than demand. According to Kashin, the decline in gadget prices was due to the increased flow of goods from countries friendly to the Russian Federation under the parallel import plan.
The price of eggs has also fallen slightly: It is stated that for the first time since June 2023, their cost fell by 0.2%.
According to Kashin, we should also expect a decrease in prices for household chemicals in 2024 due to the fact that Russia will begin to independently produce components for a number of products in this category. The analyst predicts a 5-7% drop in value.
Doctor of Economics Professor Leonid Kholod says that despite the slight decrease in egg costs, a further decrease in prices should not be expected. HE explained This is the persistence of inflation.
Previously at the Central Bank accepted Lowering the key interest rate in 2024 with a steady downward trend in inflation.
