According to the Bureau of National Statistics, in November the price index for non–food products was 0.7%, for paid services – 0.8%, for food products - 1.1%. There is a slowdown in the growth of paid services, which in 2024 showed the highest rise due to the launch of the Tariff in Exchange for Investment program (13.3% in annual terms).
In order to curb food inflation in the regions, the distribution of vegetable stocks has already begun. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, 13.4 thousand tons have already been sold out of the formed vegetable stocks in the amount of 159.6 thousand tons. Most of all – potatoes (7.2 thousand tons), carrots – 2.1 thousand tons, onions – 2.2 thousand tons, cabbage – 1.7 thousand tons.
Serik Zhumangarin instructed the Ministry of Agriculture, together with the regions, to ensure price stability and the availability of the necessary volume of basic products on the shelves, including greenhouses, especially during the holidays.
The supply of vegetables from reserves formed in stabilization funds to the markets of the regions, together with agricultural fairs, will allow the residents of the country to provide vegetables and other products at affordable prices and in sufficient quantities. All these measures are designed to curb the New Year's rush to increase prices for basic foodstuffs.
