Beginning with January 1st, 2008, the bread will be by 25 percent more expensive in the Transnistrian region, DECA-press Agency informs.
The so-called Transnistrian minister of economy, Elena Cernenko, cited by „Novai reghion”, declared that this measure hadn’t been planned by the authorities from Tiraspol, it had been imposed by the bad harvest of wheat and the growth of the price of wheat.
In the context of growth of the price of bread, Tiraspol will pay a monthly compensation of 25 roubles (3 USD) to pensioners.
Tiraspol affirms that it will not operate anymore with modifications of the price of bread until August 2008. In this region, the price of 200 USD per one ton of wheat will be preserved, while on the world market, one ton of wheat will cost nearly 250 USD.
The last growth of price in Transnistria was recorded three months ago. // DECA-Press
