The Bulgarian's wallet is getting thinner and thinner. At the same time, last autumn the prices of products were on average 3% lower.
In the last year there has been a tendency to increase prices in almost all sectors in the country. They have risen the most in the food sector.
10% is the increase in dairy products, while in eggs the jump is 29%, and today in some places they are sold for 40 cents apiece.
According to experts, there is no talk of inflation, because while the price of food jumps, other products become more affordable. Here we are talking about airline tickets, tourism and restaurant industry, which are getting cheaper.
However, not all Bulgarians travel by plane, while everyone has to eat. And while the industry is adamant that the problem is prices, consumers say the real problem is income.
For 2017, the average gross salary is BGN 1,064. Thus, we note an increase of just over 11.5% compared to last year. However, the salaries of Bulgarians remain far from the European average, and food prices promise to remain the same at least until the end of this year.
