Dual display guide welcomed

The National Council of Women has welcomed the Euro Dual Display of Prices Guidelines just published.

The NCW said it hopes that the voluntary dual pricing period from January is availed of widely by the commercial sector to familiarise people with the concept of euros as the paying currency even before the mandatory dual pricing period starts in July. The council believes that this dual display practice will greatly assist a smooth transition process as well as curb the temptation to increase prices during the changeover period.

The NCW said it will in fact be vigilant against unjustified price changes during the changeover period.
