摘要：After the introduction of the euro, prices in Slovenia started to rise. It was a phenomenon known from other EMU members,
but for a certain period, the growth of prices in Slovenia was higher than in other euro countries even though prices in these
countries were aff ected by world prices in a similar way. Many economists considered the price growth a result of market
imperfection, oligopoly and monopolistic behavior of certain suppliers. This paper analyses Mercator’s products, as Mercator
has the highest market share in retail trade. The results are divided into three parts: in the fi rst, the price dynamics of the most
traded Mercator’s products are compared with the statistical indexes of Slovenia, in the second, Mercator’s prices are compared
with prices of the same or similar products in Austria, and in the third both views are synthesized in a comparative analysis of
price levels in the period of the last three years.
