Sofia sets up crisis task force to coordinate price controls

In response to the conflict in the Middle East, the caretaker government is setting up a crisis task force to coordinate the monitoring and control of the prices of goods and fuels.

The task force will request information on price levels and trends relating to the conflict, as well as measures to address rising fuel prices, from an interdepartmental working group established by the caretaker prime minister.

Prime Minister Andrey Gyurov will head the new body, which will include the ministers of finance, economy and industry, energy, transport and communications, agriculture and food, regional development and public works, and labour and social policy.
