Complaints to the price regulator about the rising cost of living are constantly increasing. Compared to 2022, they have increased by a fifth this year, says Stefan Meierhans.
The development is not new: “Last year I received a total of 2,400 complaints, almost twice as many as in 2021,” says Meierhans in an interview in the Wednesday edition of the Tamedia newspapers. “More and more people in Ticino need budget advice, and there is already a long waiting list. There are problems in western Switzerland because many people, unlike in the past, can only save a little money by switching health insurance.’
Meierhans is also confronted with these problems in daily life. “When I talk to people on the street or on the tram, they tell me about rising childcare costs, or expensive prices for the general subscription of the daughter who is going to secondary school.” (sda)
