Skopje, 9 November 2024 (MIA) - The list of products that will be included in the “New Year’s consumer basket” has already been defined, as well as the prices, Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski told media on Saturday.

According to the Prime Minister the “fall consumer basket” produced results with “the citizens feeling the benefits which are also being confirmed by the figures”.

“Based on the information I’ve received from the Minister of Economy, they have spoken to the economic chambers, the list of products for before New Year’s has been defined, as well as the prices. We are working and this can be seen in the reports published by the State Statistical Office. You could see that after who knows how long, monthly inflation is negative, and it's –0.7 percent. I regret that the opposition has criticized this, but the figures are merciless. The effects of the measure can be felt by the citizens and seen in the figures, in October there were reductions, no more inflation, and instead we had a deflation of –0.7... We can’t do everything overnight, but what matters is that this shows we are working,” Mickoski said.
