9% Increase in Festive Table Cost - 'Rich' Table at €160

The cost of the New Year's Eve table is expected to be at the same level as the Christmas table, with only slight price reductions in tomatoes and cucumbers that do not significantly affect the overall cost. According to a survey by the Cyprus Consumer Association, a 'rich' table for a family of four will cost around €160, while an 'economical' table will cost €98 and a table for lower incomes €33. Compared to 2023, there is a 9% increase in cost. The Association criticizes the e-Kalathi, describing it as a failure, as in some cases supermarkets did not have products available or had a limited number. The research was conducted in supermarkets in Nicosia, while there were no volunteers to conduct research in other provinces.
