Our View: Is sour grapes behind Consumers Association attack on e-kalathi?

The Cyprus Consumers’ Association issued an announcement on Monday declaring that the e-kalathi app – created by the government to list the prices of a large range of goods in all supermarkets to help shoppers get the best deals – had failed, to a large extent, to achieve its aims.

The main objective of e-kalathi, which was set up in June 2025, the association said, was to offer consumers a tool that would help them find the cheapest supermarket or cheapest products while also pushing down prices, in general, through competition.
