Sellers explain the growth of prices by introducing new money.

Here is what Aliaksandr, who is buzy with furnishing his new apartment, told praca-by.info:

– I ordered some linoleum at a price of Br 170 thousand per square meter. But they wouldn’t load it. I called the sellers, they said, the warehouses had run short of this kind of linoleum, and the new lot would be at a new price in connection with the redenomination – Br 190 thousand per square meter. When it became clear that I had paid in advance, the seller said that the linoleum had already been found in the warehouse: “You're lucky.” The same thing happened in the furniture store, where I wanted to choose a mattress. The prices have been risen this week. AsI understand, in order not to get get it in the neck for rising prices after 1 July.

Earlier, Lukashenka promised to “rip off the heads” of those who use the redenomination for price increase.

This is the story told by Lida resident Iryna:

– I bring up two small children, so I’m aware of store prices. A lot of products have risen in price recently. Sellers openly say that it’s due to the redenomination. In reality it turns all the way around as promised on television.
