ECUADOR: Bread prices rise
On 10 January, the government agreed with bakers to raise the price
of basic bread (pan popular) to US$0.12 per loaf. This is a rise of
US$0.02 per loaf, more or less what the bakers had wanted. The government,
however, had originally hoped to limit the rise to one cent. The new price came
into force on 11 January. The government hopes that the price will remain fixed
for the rest of 2011.
