The Consumer Protection Service announces the updated Consumer Product Price Watch for the month of March 2023. The Observatory presents the weighted average price for 250 key consumer products (food and other products), based on the quantities and prices per day at which these products were sold in 400 retail outlets nationwide throughout the month.
The purpose of the Observatory is to provide the consumer with an objective comparative assessment of purchase prices from all retail outlets, supermarkets, bakeries, bakeries, bakeries, kiosks, etc.
In conclusion, the assessment carried out for the month of March demonstrates that retail prices show increases with regard to food and other basic consumer products. These increases mainly reflect the maintenance of food inflation, in line with the published data of the Statistical Office, at 9% for the period January - March.
The Consumer Protection Service clarifies that the Price Observatories are prepared solely for consumer information purposes and in no way constitute advice. The Price Observatory is not intended to and cannot replace the market research to be carried out by each consumer on the basis of his or her own preferences, data and needs, nor is it intended to indicate to consumers the points of sale to choose or specific products.
In particular, it should be noted that some of the products included in the Price Observatory are subject to qualitative differences which cannot be determined. To this end, the Service encourages consumers to carry out meaningful market research before making purchases, taking into account the results of this Observatory.
Detailed information on the Observatory is available at website of the Consumer Protection Service.
