Consumers can save between 10 and 15% on their purchases by comparing prices in the e-katanalotis application, claimed Development Minister Kostas Skrekas.

Mr. Skrekas said that through the e-katanalotis application, households know the price deviations in supermarkets. As an example, he cited baby diapers, for which consumers can find prices ranging from 7.96 euros to 14.42 euros, meaning that through the application, a household can save more than 5 euros on this product alone. "Consumers, through the application made by our government, can see who sells cheaper. We will not stop fighting to protect the Greek household," added Mr. Skrekas.

He noted that food inflation has started to decelerate. In supermarkets in particular, it hovered at 0.28% in March. In fact, from January to March, food inflation has fallen by 40%. "Greece from 2019 to 2024 has the lowest overall general inflation in Europe. In 4 years, in food, we had 30.1% inflation, and look how much other countries had. The turnover per square meter in supermarkets in Greece is half of that in Romania and 30% lower than in Portugal. We have a lot of halls, and chains have a lot of operating costs and a lower turnover. Supermarkets would have excess profits if we did not put the cap on them," the minister argued.
