As a rule, by the end of the year, prices for some goods in Russia rise. This is especially true of such a category as food. New Year is no exception. Another price increase is predicted in the next 2020.
The reasons
Every year in Russia at the beginning of the year, one can note an increase in prices for some goods. What reasons will contribute to the fact that the buyer is faced with a rise in price? What should you prepare for?
One of the reasons cited by experts is the increase in excise taxes from January 1, 2020. In addition, preferential tariffs for value added tax - the well-known VAT - will be canceled. Since palm oil is present in a large number of products, this will certainly lead to the fact that prices will rise. Another reason may be the increase in wages and pensions in Russia. Manufacturers and sellers take this fact into account. And he will be a reason for them to raise the price of their goods.
What will raise prices
Alcohol. It is already known that from January 1, 2020, the price of alcoholic beverages will rise - these are cognac, vodka and wine. A bottle of vodka (0.5 l) will cost 230 rubles - the minimum price. Cognac - 430 rubles for a 0.5 liter bottle. Excise taxes on wine will increase to 31 rubles. For champagne and other sparkling wines, the price of excise taxes will increase to 40 rubles. This applies to Russian wines. The price of imported wines may rise even more.
Food. An increase in prices is forecasted for such products as sugar, flour, cereals (buckwheat and legumes), various sweets, dairy products, fish, meat. They will rise in price in the first place and more quickly than other goods. Although, it should be noted that in 2019 bread has already risen in price in Russia (7.7%). The price of rye bread increased especially (9.6%), as the price of rye flour sharply increased.
Milk products. Electronic veterinary certification will be introduced in Russia from November 1, 2019. This can lead to the fact that dairy products will rise in price by about 10%.
Flights. Air tickets will “skyrocket” in price up to 10%. This is due to the fact that aviation fuel is becoming more expensive. Also, the country has not established a mechanism to compensate for the costs of air carriers.
Juice drinks. It is planned to increase prices for drinks containing juice. This happens due to the fact that the tax on them will increase. Prices are expected to rise by 9%.
Fuel. The government promises to keep fuel prices. They should not increase much, but, nevertheless, there will still be an increase by it.
Output
The reasons for the expected rise in prices in Russia in 2020 are as follows:
It should also be taken into account that many goods are imported into the country from other states. Their price depends on the fluctuations in the dollar exchange rate. The goods brought from abroad include fruits, vegetables, drinks. And they are primarily included in the list of goods that can rise in price.
