ECUADOR: Bread prices rise
On 10 January the government agreed that basic bread (pan popular)
prices should be fixed at 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 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.
