With this new price list, it is expected that the festive season will bring some respite to households struggling with inflation. Middle-class families, whose budgets are often stretched due to rising prices of groceries and daily-use items, are likely to benefit the most.

Conclusion

Overall, the release of this updated price list of 54 essential commodities is a major step in protecting consumer rights. It will not only provide relief to the general public but also keep retailers in check against overpricing. Consumers are encouraged to use this price list while shopping and safeguard their rights.
