#112: More Inflation

All the basic food items have gone up so much, that I am already losing track of how much things cost last week.

Flour costs 50soms/kg in stores, or 1700soms/50kg in bazaars. It was 25soms a few months ago. There is a scarcity of wheat in the market.
Cooking oil costs 100soms/lt. It was 50soms a few months ago.

And to add insult to injury, currency exchanges lowered USD from 37 to 33soms and Euro from 52 to 46. I took this picture on the intersection of Manas and Moskovskiy.
