AKORT called the situation with goods and prices in the largest retail chains of the Russian Federation stable

"In the ACORT member retail chains, the situation with goods and prices remains stable. Large retailers adhere to long-term supply plans and work with reliable suppliers. This allows sharp price fluctuations to be leveled at the moment," Karavaev said.

“I also remind you that in the food segment, dependence on imports is low, and price changes for non-food products can be multidirectional and, first of all, depend on the availability of specific positions, ongoing promotions and a number of other factors,” he said.

At present, AKORT unites more than 20 largest companies that together occupy more than 30% of the Russian retail market: X5 Group, Magnit, Lenta, Auchan, Metro Cash and Carry, M.Video-Eldorado, Detsky world", "Sportmaster", "Snow Queen" and others.

it is also noted that in the last month there has been a noticeable weakening of the ruble against major currencies. On Thursday, the DOLLAR exchange rate on the Moscow Exchange exceeded 93 rubles, the euro exceeded 102 rubles for the first time since March 28, 2022.
