Belarus’ Ministry of Antimonopoly Regulation and Trade has identified cases of unjustifiably high retail markups on clothing during inspections conducted in March. In some instances, markups reached 120% despite a установленный maximum threshold of 65%.
Violations were recorded in four regions: four cases in the Homiel Region, three in the Mahilyow Region, three in the Viciebsk Region, and one in the Minsk Region.
In one case, an individual entrepreneur offered a women’s suit for 270 rubles with a markup exceeding 100%, while the permitted price should not have exceeded 221.1 rubles. Another entrepreneur sold a dress for 200 rubles with a 90.5% markup instead of the allowable 173.25 rubles. Women’s trousers were offered for 116 rubles with a 120% markup, whereas the maximum permitted price was 87.45 rubles.
In addition to inflated markups, some retail outlets lacked documentation justifying their pricing levels.
Administrative proceedings are being prepared in all identified cases, the ведомство’s press service reported.
