Prices of basic food products in North Macedonia remain "frozen" until the end of February, the government in Skopje decided today.

As stated in the announcement, the government of Dimitar Kovačevski decided to extend for one month the validity of the measure to limit the highest prices of basic food products, at the level they had on December 1 last year.

"This intervention measure on the market, which began to be applied on December 6, 2021, has been extended until February 28, 2022," it is specified.

In December last year, the government of North Macedonia "froze" the prices of bread, sugar, flour type 400, sunflower oil, permanent milk with 2,8 percent, 3,2 percent and 3,5 percent fat, fresh meat and dried meat products, cheese, rice, eggs and pasta.
