controls will be applied on the maximum prices of products in a list of 22 staple goods.<\/p>\n<p>Sirloin steak, rib steaks, ground beef, shanks,  breast, pork chops, chicken, tuna, sausage, high quality rice, macaroni,  bread, onion, yam, potato, domestic tomato, cassava, beans and lentils,  are some of the goods whose prices will be controlled by the State, by  decree in force from July 1,

&#8230; For the  first time Panama will go back to an emergency price control scheme and  22 products in the basic food basket will come under price regulation &#8211; margin control in order to avoid speculation in staple products&#8217;, said the elected President Juan Carlos Varela. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pedro Meilan, Manager at the Authority for Consumer and Defence of Competition (ACODECO), stressed that price controls can be applied through price regulation or by a price freeze. &#8216;What has  to be determined is whether to freeze the price or the margin, meaning  that it will not be the case that there will be no increase over a  certain point  and it will stay that way forever, or whether to regulate  it, which means it will be revised from time to time in order to see if  it should be increased or lowered&#8217; he said.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: Panamaamerica.com.pa<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting July 1st controls will be applied on the
