The price of masks increased 10fold, consumer defender: It's okay.

Numerous citizens have faced price hikes, which until weeks ago cost 10 cents, the price increased ten times as it is now costing 1 euro.

The once price hikes have disturbed many citizens for whom it seems abnormal. The head of the Nongovernmental Organisation “Consumer”, Ceatin Kachanicik, in a premonition for Periscope, says businesses have raised prices based on market regulator.

According to him, the market regulator called the law of demand and supply says that when demand is added, prices are raised and vice versa.

Prices depend on the market, there is a market regulator called the law of supply and demand, and if demand is increased, then prices are raised. If the opposite occurs, the price decreases. At present, manufacturers and traders have little reason to increase prices. Of course, we as a small country have been able to influence, unless in these games, even our merchants who do business with medical drugs, Kachanic says.

On the other hand, he adds that masks are not the main preventative measure but the hygiene of each person. The masks are not as efficient as we pretend. The most efficient is our hygiene, Kachanic said.. /Periscopi/
