Head of economic institute: Government laying groundwork for more price advance

The director of the Institute of Economic Research said on Vikerraadio's "Uudis+" program that when discussing Estonia's move into the top five most expensive countries in Europe, he was referring to a trend rather than the current situation. Therefore, he considers the prime minister's criticism of him to be mistaken. According to Raudsepp, the planned tax increases create conditions for continued price growth.
