Even coffee will get more expensive in Portugal!
If you are sleeping under a stone, Portugal must currently suffer a tax burden at the national level, a crisis resulting from the production of COVID, still several derivatives at the national pandemic level, and now a military conflict in Europe! What all together, caused the prices of food, and many other products, began to skyrocket. (As is the example of Diesel, which should increase by 14.5 cents next Monday).
Even the price of coffee will go up!
Even coffee will get more expensive in Portugal!
Therefore, at the beginning of the year, the increase in prices for food, electricity, water, etc., was immediately noticeable. But now, with the war in Ukraine, we’re going to have a new, renewed surge… In… Well… Everything!
After all, in recent days, there is no shortage of suppliers to communicate to customers that prices will increase. All due to the escalation of inflation, which in Portugal, is around 4.2%, and of course, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. (4.2% is a low rate compared to the rest of Europe, but aggressively average for a country with a salary of €900).
However, the war has also begun to take its toll on the price of wheat and corn. At the end of the day, with one extreme, they have already reduced a significant increase in the price of seeds, feed, fertilizers, etc… Now, as Ukraine and Russia are two of the largest cereal exporters in the world, you can expect another increase in this field.
My friends… Even coffee is more expensive! With some cafes in the Lisbon area increasing the traditional ‘bica’ between 10 and 20 cents.
It is precisely for this reason, in order to avoid an uncontrollable rise in prices, that the AHRESP Defend an adjustment in the fiscal area, in the State Budget for 2022. Will this happen? do not. Since the new government “does not see the will to lower taxes, with the new government”, now able to reach 20€. But let’s wait and see what will happen.
