The rise of the dollar, which yesterday closed up 0.60% at R $ 2.32 to the sale - the highest level recorded since March 30, 2009 - can affect product prices of Christmas dinner. According to the president of the Supermarkets Association of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Asserj) Aylton Fornari, if the upward trend to continue until the end of September and early October, during which the networks begin to negotiate the import of goods to the end of the year, the consumer will certainly be affected.
- Walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts should have the highest high, but still can not talk on values - Fornari said.
He added that the estimate for the state of Rio is that supermarkets close 2013 with a 5% increase in sales, compared with last year. But for this, the Christmas sales must overcome by 8% 2012.
- This constant high dollar can disrupt it - looked Aylton Fornari.
Besides supper, some Christmas presents can become more expensive. This is the case of electronics such as mobile phones, cameras, computers and tablets.
