Podcast "What's New?" — The rise in food prices has accelerated in Russia

We understand why with the correspondent of the data department Antonina Asanova

Over the past year in Russia, food prices have risen by 8.2%, which is 4 times more than last year. The rise in prices is especially noticeable in the last few months. Bloomberg has already named Russia as one of the “hot spots” on the global price growth map. And on March 9, the Cabinet of Ministers introduced monitoring of prices for consumer goods.

• Can this save the day?

• Why are prices rising so much and which products are the most expensive?

• How much have the real incomes of Russians fallen over the past 10 years?

• And why did the authorities, throwing all their efforts into introducing "import substitution", missed the problem of the availability of products for the population?

Antonina Asanova, correspondent of the data department of Novaya Gazeta, the author of a study published in Novaya Gazeta , talks about this in the latest issue of the What’s New podcast .
