Russian retail chains should be required to display price dynamics over the last three months on price tags in stores. Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Boris Chernyshov (LDPR) writes about this issue in a proposal submitted to the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, reports say RIA Novosti.
“It was proposed to impose an obligation on commercial organizations engaged in trade activities to provide customers with information about the dynamics of the cost of goods during the last three months before the announcement of the discount. This information must be stated clearly and accessibly on the price tag, the document states.
Quarterly price dynamics should be stated; According to Chernyshov’s proposal, the product must be displayed on price tags if it went on sale less than three months ago.
In a letter to the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Anton Alikhanov, Chernyshov writes that citizens approach him as a deputy with messages about fake discounts – as a result of “discounts” in the pre-holiday period, when stores inflate prices and then announce old discounts on the price tag.
