Supermarket prices for consumer goods also went down in July.

High prices at supermarkets recorded a decrease in May for the first time since they started rising. They were down 1.25% compared to the same month last year, according to the Institute of Retail Consumer Goods (IELKA).

The new measures to combat high prices are expected to lead to double-digit reductions in the prices of certain categories of products on supermarket shelves in March, the general director of the Supermarkets' Association of Greece, Apostolos Petalas, said on Sunday.
