Portfolio Pulse from Vandana Singh
French supermarket Carrefour has issued price alerts on several products from suppliers such as Nestle, PepsiCo, and Unilever, in a bid to combat inflation. The move comes ahead of contract negotiations and aims to pressure these companies into reducing their prices. Carrefour has labelled 26 products in its French stores, indicating that their volume or weight has decreased while their prices have increased. The French Finance Minister supports this initiative and has urged major retailers and consumer groups to lower prices.
