According to the European commissioner for the economy, the pressures on prices will be strong until the summer. The low prices could be the first to to take off.
Will food prices soon soar on the shelves? In recent weeks, the boss of a bakery in Corsica has seen the price of raw materials rise. She needs to increase her prices. “I think that despite everything, we will have to go through it too, because it has increased so strongly in terms of white flour“, says Lisa Galaud. The baguette will soon go from 90 cents to one euro.
“We can only suffer and deal with it, as usual“, confides a man. “We understand that if the baker pays more, we will pay more for the baguette“, adds a woman. Price increases should also affect eggs, pasta, flour, oil, as well as meat. “When there is an inflation on raw materials, (…) the products whose prices increase the fastest and the strongest, they are those on which the share of the raw material is the most important“, explains Olivier Dauvers, specialist in mass distribution.
