The inflation rate is overcoming the planned figures. Putin has expressed his concern over it in the meeting with the Russian prime-minister Fradkov. The average inflation for the first 2 months of 2006 in Siberia stands at 4,7 with Omsk in the 'lead' - 5,7 and with best results in Tuva, where it is only 1,7. The picture is 'spoiled' with sugar and salt. The sugar's price in Tuva has doubled rising from 18 rouble (60 cents) a kilo to 40 rouble (1,3 dollar)
