Context
This is a sanitary clothing item. The catalog code is 32652.
The rule it puts in play
No regulation sets the price of an item, and an inter-annual jump may reflect inflation, exchange rate, change in unit of measure, or a different product under the same code. The measurement compares medians of the same catalog code, nothing more.
What is missing to say more
To understand the variation, it would be necessary to know if there were changes in the unit of measure, in the technical specifications of the product, or if it involves different suppliers. Current public information does not allow determining the cause of the increase.
Who should answer
The Ministry of Public Health and the Ministry of Economy and Finance must explain the reasons behind the price variation of this item.
