The prices in Georgia increased for the last year, alongside with this process pensions decreased for 25%. Nodar Khduri, economics expert said at the meeting with Christian Democrats in Parliament.
"Now a pensioner for 90 GEL can buy as many food products as he was able to buy for 65 GEL year ago, "- Khaduri said. The 20 GEL energy voucher is of no assistance for them. It would be better to distribute this money for bread bakers to allow them to buy wheat before it was too late, before increase of prices for it. He said in such case the price for the wheat supply would be fixed and accordingly it would not increase.
