YEREVAN. – We have not yet observed an unjustified price increase ahead of the New Year.

Chairman of the Armenian State Commission for the Protection of Economic Competition, Artak Shaboyan, told the aforementioned to reporters on Thursday.

“We are monitoring the markets where there are dominant subjects, and we attach special attention to the important markets from the social point of view,” Shaboyan stated. “So far, no irregularities were found. There are changes in prices, but there are no grounds to consider them a result of pricing conspiracy. Objective factors would affect the prices.”
