Grenadians are paying more for bread, cooking gas and transportation in line with price hikes announced by the government. While some in the business community view the development as inevitable, the Grenadian labour movement says the hikes will bring greater hardship to the people. The price of flour is going up by seven to 10 percent, and that will mean a hike in what is being paid for bread and other bakery products. Also being implemented is a 25 percent increase in bus fares and cooking gas, which will have Grenadians digging a little deeper into their pockets. Government Minister Gregory Bowen holds several portfolios including Energy and Agriculture. He says inflation and other factors have forced the decision to implement the price increases. But the Chamber of Commerce is criticising what it calls an ad hoc and piecemeal approach on the part of the authorities. Reprinted from radioja
