The official prices of some of these goods have increased two to three times, but the prices of some of these goods in the market are higher than the official prices.
“In addition to the effect of removing the preferred currency from crude oil, the world price has also risen,” said Mahmoud Bananejad, a member of the board of the country’s chamber of trade unions, referring to the quadrupling of oil prices in the Mashhad market.
Some have cited the reason for selling goods at new prices as preventing people from flocking to stores to buy goods at the previous price, as well as increasing sellers’ motivation to offer goods.
However, there are still reports of shortages and long queues in some provinces.
