'Santa's basket' measure starts on Friday

The "Santa's Basket" that aims to offer consumers affordable toys ahead of the holidays - the equivalent of the 'Household Basket' for basic goods - begins on Friday and concerns the buying of toys exclusively for the period of Christmas and New Year.  

The products included in the basket will have a special indication on the shelf so that consumers can see which items are included, while the relevant list of prices will be sent to the Development Ministry to check if the laws on overcharging are being observed.

As in the previous year, the basket includes several different categories of toys.
