Large federal retailers will comply with the recommendations of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) and limit the mark-up on basic products - no more than 10% by the end of the year, the service said.
Tander JSC (Magnit and Dixy retail chains) and X5 Retail Group (Pyaterochka, Perekrestok, Karusel, Chizhik retail chains) are ready to limit the maximum mark-up level to ten percent, and the retail chain "Bristol" - ten to fifteen percent. Margins below the maximum level will remain and will not increase, "- said the FAS.
This usually means that they'll hike prices a lot, but will do it by placing intermediary in the supply chain.
Another approach:
Chains have very tricky pricing. There are payments for shelf space, marketing bonuses, etc.
For example, a supplier supplies goods to the network at 100 rubles / piece, the network makes its own markup, for example, 10%. On the shelf, the product costs 110 rubles.
But! There is a marketing bonus, for example, 35% of the delivery price. That is, a network of 100 rubles. will take from the supplier an additional 35 rubles, and the supplier will pay 65 rubles. That is, the actual markup is (110-65) / 65 * 100% = 69.23%. Marketing bonus and shelf fees are purely negotiable things and can't be restricted.
Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin instructed to check the prices for PCR tests in Russian clinics
The Prime Minister instructed the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) to check the reasonableness of prices for PCR tests in Russia. The prime minister's initiative was prompted by inadequate prices for tests. In Vladivostok, for example, private clinics ask for up to 2,000 rubles for analysis, and it is valid for only two days. In Moscow, a PCR test in commercial network laboratories with a result within a day will cost 2.8 thousand rubles.
The production of PCR tests, according to State Duma deputy from A Just Russia Oleg Nilov, is much cheaper than the cost of the test itself. The costs of manufacturers in the Ministry of Industry and Trade were not disclosed, but the purchase price is 120-150 rubles. Everything else is cheating laboratories.
Real self cost for test manufacturing is around 35 rubles, up to 50 with packing. Highly automated test procedure itself is around 100-200 rubles.
