A commission dealing with issues related to food products, medicines, and fuel prices has also been established within the Government Administration. This commission is chaired by Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, who has stated that food prices in Georgia are higher compared to Europe due to high markups and profit margins. The State Security Service has also begun studying consumer prices.
