Greek Development ministry focuses on market inspections to combat greedflation  The Greek minister said the food inflation slowed to 9.6% in September, in comparison with 10.5% in Spain, while he reiterated that reducing the VAT rate did to offer the expected results in other countries

Greek Development Ministry is conducting inspections on multinational enterprises over their profit margins along with a survey to find out which products, currently offered in the Greek market, present a big difference in prices in comparison with other EU countries, Development Minister Costas Skrekas said on Tuesday, ANA reports.

 In comments made to ERT TV, Skrekas noted that up to now suppliers have informed the ministry they will cut prices by at least 5% for a six-month period to 213 products and that the ministry wanted to raise this number to more than 500 products. He added that price cuts start from 5% and could reach 10-12%.

 The minister said the government is implementing a plan to deal with inflationary pressures focusing on supporting incomes, market inspections, combatting profiteering, boosting competition, and strengthening the power of consumers. Skrekas pointed out that the ministry's goal was to stop the greedflation phenomenon.
