Last year, prices for school supplies rose more than 10%, while according to the 6% year-on-year decline in stationery prices in July, it is estimated that we will not see any increases this year, despite a quadrupling in the transport costs of imports from China in 2024.
Thus, according to the president of EBEP Vassilis Korkidis, it is estimated that the average cost of the school list will range from 20 to 50 euros, depending on the age and needs of the student.
The Minister of Development, Takis Theodorikakos, emphasized that no revaluation of school supplies is justified, but, on the contrary, businesses must exhaust all margins for profit reduction and prices should be better than last year. The relevant products are included in the provisions on the profit ceiling and for this there will be direct checks by DIMEA.

What businesses should do
The companies participating in the initiative include in the list they send to Ministry of Development at least one (1) product, as long as they have products of this category for sale to consumers.
The debtors send to the Ministry of Development a list of consumer products on a weekly basis, every Wednesday by 9:00 am.
Informing the consumer public about the products is mandatory:
- through a special mark placed on the products or in their physical or electronic sales area or in any means by which the products are advertised to the consumer,
- by posting, at the entrance of each store, a clear list/catalogue of the products that make up the household basket as well as the prices at which the products are offered and
- through at least one separate point of sale, in a prominent position of the store, where the products are placed and made available to the consumer public.
Businesses participating in the initiative can gain access to the special badge by sending a request to the email address gen-sec@mindev.gov.gr.
They must ensure that the products declared in the list of consumer products sent to the Ministry of Development, are in their stores in sufficient quantity and are available to the consumer public without interruption.
If stocks of a product participating in the initiative run out in one or more stores, businesses must temporarily replace the out-of-stock product with a similar product available at the same or lower price and in the same or greater quantity.
If there is no such product in the store, the obligors shall arrange for the supply of the store in which the product is sold out within two (2) days with a sufficient quantity of the sold-out product or they inform the Ministry of Development and Investments and the e-katanalotis digital platform for the definitive replacement of the product in all their stores.
The new product should also be in adequacy. Final product replacement is allowed only once until the new regular product catalog submission.
