According to the price analysis, since the beginning of this year, the cost of food products has increased by an average of 15%, while prices for non-food products have increased by about 8% compared to the previous year, 2022. Prices for services have also risen sharply, with housing and utilities going up by 20%, fuel by 23%, and medicines by 11%.
