The Secretary of Commerce, Matías Tombolini, affirmed this Wednesday that more than 300 school basket products will be included with fixed prices until March 31, and stressed that the measure will bring “order and predictability and relief to the pocket.”
About, He assured that “310 products that are part of the school basket, bookstore and stationery products, will have a fixed price until March 31 and then a guideline of 3.2% until June”within the framework of what was signed last Tuesday (in relation to the ceiling for the increase in fees to private schools of 16.8% in March).
In dialogue with radio 10, Tombolini assured that this “will bring relief to the pocket of moms and dads who are going to face the return to school with a quota in March that grows much less than what was planned”.
In that line, He commented that in that month the ceiling will be 16.8%, while in the City 25% was scheduled.
In addition, he stressed that the more than 300 products in the school basket with fixed prices until March 31 “allow a little order to be built and predictability.”
Likewise, he stressed that the products included will be available both in the supermarkets of the United Supermarkets Association (ASU), and in the bookstores belonging to the Argentine Chamber of Stationery, Bookstores and Related Products (Capla).
“This means a reach that will reach the neighborhood bookstore,” he affirmed, and specified that “they will not be identified with Fair Prices in bookstores, but they will be in supermarkets.”
On the other hand, the secretary also referred to the oil supply and maintained that “in December there was a shortage of oil, and in the first days of January as well”, but argued that “the private oil trust was renewed, and this sets a guideline of 3.1% increase in the price of sunflower oil until October, and a fixed increase of 2.7% in blended oil and all the rest of the products in the oil range with a guideline of 3.1 %”.
