Speaking to Action 24 TV the minister said: "We are next to the citizens and we are working to bring investments, jobs and a better income to everyone."
Theodorikakos pointed out that the minimum wage has increased by 27 percent since 2019, unemployment is now down to 9.5 percent and food inflation has been negative for four consecutive months, below the European Union average.
"We are following the strictest and most demanding legislation in the EU to lower the profit ceiling," he added and noted that "26 large companies and approximately 2,500 product codes are being inspected".
In any case, the effort to reduce prices is continuous. "We are seeking ways to connect the consumer directly with the producer. We will discuss it with the producers and the local authority. We want people to have more options," Theodorikakos added.
