Prime Minister Hristo Miskoiski has conducted a detailed analysis concerning the pricing structures of various goods, specifically focusing on the role of overpriced producers within the national market basket. During a recent statement, the Prime Minister emphasized his deep personal commitment to resolving the issues affecting consumer costs. He confirmed that his involvement is extensive, stating that he is personally overseeing the identification process for the approximately 600 producers included in the national statistical calculations.
Miskoiski stressed that addressing this discrepancy is a top national priority. He highlighted the findings provided by Eurostat, noting that the data indicates Macedonia’s basket price index represents the highest level in Europe, specifically citing a figure that is 49.7% higher than the average European price. Acknowledging the complexity of the issue, the Prime Minister affirmed that the current efforts must move beyond mere identification.
He stated that while the analysis of the producers is crucial, continuous work is necessary to overhaul the underlying methodology. The Prime Minister assured the public that he remains personally engaged in developing these necessary systemic improvements to ensure the accuracy and fairness of the cost of living metrics used by the government.
