He also stated that the commitment of leisure centre owners to price restraint cannot continue any longer, noting that the prices of products for sale in leisure centres seem to have to be increased and several businesses have already proceeded to increase their prices.
He also said that the price increases are still creating a big problem for businesses that deal with receptions, weddings and christenings, which are obliged to invoice, either for the end of the year or for the following months or next year. He added that the uncertainty of cost at the moment when you need to buy the product, process it and give it to the consumer can be devastating for businesses. He also urged businessmen to be very careful in their pricing for the coming months and next year, since, he said, we still have volatility in the market. He also expressed hope that during the summer season due to the sunshine, perishables and vegetables will register some decrease.
Owner of the recreation centers "Ta Bania" Dimitris Kallis expressed his dissatisfaction with the increase in prices of essentials of 30%- 40% .
As he said, he has not yet proceeded to change the price lists in the cafeteria he runs in Kato Paphos, however, as he said, in a few days he will change his price lists and there will be increases in the items he sells but in the more expensive ones and not in coffees or soft drinks.These increases in his more expensive items he noted will be in the 30%- 40% range. For us he said, the way the situation has evolved is a 'knife' in his words. Butchers, he continued, it is easy to raise prices, but the owners of leisure centres because they have catalogues cannot keep changing their catalogues.
The skewers have also suffered the effects. Chloe Cassiouli Argyrou who runs such business in the area of the Technical School in her statements to CNA expressed her concern and concern about the increase in prices of essentials. Unfortunately, she observed, the chain increases in essentials have also affected her business. She also added that some items coming from abroad have recorded increases
