The Consumer Council (CC) announced in a statement yesterday that it has conducted specific price surveys on three product categories, recommending consumers to use the published data to compare prices.
The council regularly conducts price surveys on various types of products, the statement underlined, aiming to improve price transparency while also showing price differences in various retail outlets in its results.
According to the statement, data was collected from supermarkets and pharmacies yesterday, with the products surveyed including “many types of infant formula products, personal care products, and over-the-counter drugs”.
The prices are already available on the council’s “Macao Price Information Platform”. The statement pointed out that the platform lists “the highest and lowest price of each surveyed product, percentage of difference in price, retail outlets, as well as price changes”, advising consumers to utilise the platform for price comparisons as well as decision-making when getting groceries.
The survey report can be accessed by visiting the council’s website at www.consumer.gov.mo or the “Macao Price Information Platform” app. Enquiries can also be made by calling 8988 9315.
