Don't see what's de beat up here , you all wanted this goverment. Be happy prices in view should be more

Maybe the beatup is from some of the people that were part of the 70% of our voting population that did not vote for PNM.

Just cuz you enjoy swinging from rowley cocolooks doesn't mean that everybody else does to. Why don't you go chill with your red and ready crew.

That's the way to go. It's also a lot easier and more cost efficient if you plan you your meals so that you reduce how much you waste.

If anyone into budgeting check out a program called "You need a budget". Version 5 is a paid subscription which is a waste of time and money but Version 4 is really good and easy to find a crack copy of online.

So it's racist for grocery prices to be pushed up

[paid_influencer]

prices are not going up though.

what is happening is that some companies are trying to 'pass on' increased costs (-- all directly created by this wicked and uncaring PNM government).

But, there is always another company that will accept the lower profits to remain viable in a dismal economy. So prices overall are remaining the same or dropping in this PNM-induced stagnation.

the lack of price increase, relative to the increased costs, is a very worrying sign.

[toyota2nr]

op you dont have to buy , you could always eat the money

Spoken like a true PNM

[RedVEVO]

^^

Prices will increase . Taxes will increase .

What is keeping it back ?

PM say he increasing Agri investments and will diversify .

You are not a friend or financier of the party. If you were you would have your land already. Ronnie Mohammed's approval coincidentally happened at the same time he was in Australia with sheit kickers

We have a broken economy. The reason locally produced goods will always be so expensive is because all governments have let the general inflation get out of control. Farmers need to live too. They can't sell it cheaper than they already are because their cost of living is high too. This endless cycle drives up food prices, in combination with us having higher transport costs, zero rated vat removed etc.

Something has to be very wrong when i see almost everything food relared is cheaper is cheaper in London.

[sMASH]

hoss, if they let the exchange rate increase, slowly over a few years, it would cause the foreign imports to go to their natural high prices. that would allow the local produce to be competitive. yes it would cause every thing to go up, but that is just the reality.

right now, we are importing becuase it is artificially cheaper to import food. why this is bad, is because the normal person cant get USd, but the big shot could get, so the advantage unfairly goes in favor of the large business... keeping the rich rich, and the poor man struggling.
why? cause u cant eat the money .

I agree with this, our currency is valued too high.

[hydroep]

One thing to consider with respect to a devaluation is that it does not automatically mean all locally produced goods would be cheaper on the export market.

Since a lot of raw materials are imported, a drop to let's say TT$ 10: US$1 could increase the costs of production and commensurately both domestic and export prices. That would impact any potential competitive benefit on the international market AND simultaneously increase the cost of living locally.

[sMASH]

but at least, the local part of the cost can be COMPARATIVELY lower, so that locals would get incentive to produce, and then more poeple will get a living. the higher priced foreign stuff, whom so ever want it, will just pay more, as they please. who cant, like me, will just satisfy with local.

[hydroep]

No doubt some aspects of businesess would benefit, I suppose what I'm getting at is that it's not a "one size fits all" solution.

Instead of spouting general platitudes the politicians and economists should do some actual work and evaluate which industries would be impacted by such a move and whether or not the country as a whole would benefit as a result.

[sMASH]

as it stands now, it is relatively cheap. but it is regulated as to who could get. it makes no sense, from the average business man point of view, for the exchange rate to be low, but u cant get it, but the is only they big businesses getting it.

so, its even more corrupt cause the in addition to the the small man not getting at all, the big man getting it substantially cheaper.
