20% unnecessary increase, tens of thousands of lira fine
The Unfair Price Evaluation Board, which came together last Friday to evaluate the prices in the markets, took up to 20% hikes in meat and dairy products in some markets. The board, which inspects the markets one by one, has 5 markets with many branches throughout the country; A101, BİM, ŞOK, CarrefourSA and Metro were fined because the hikes were unreasonable.
The range of penalties to be applied is quite wide. The chain stores in question will be penalized between 14 thousand 860 liras and 143 thousand 860 liras, depending on the number of faulty products and how high their prices are.
