Specifically, the warning letter addressed to retail chains such as "Korzinka", "Makro", "Havas", "Baraka", "Magnum", "Assorti", "B1" and "Magnit" covers instances of price changes by suppliers, logistics costs and other factors that could lead to price increases.

The retailers have been tasked with promptly informing the Competition Committee of such developments.

Additionally, the retail chains were instructed to conduct continuous preventive measures to prevent suppliers from unjustifiably raising prices.

The Committee is intensifying measures to maintain a healthy competitive environment in the market and protect the benefits of the population.
