MOSCOW, December 8The “Coffee with Sandwich Index” (“Buterbrodex”), reflecting the picture of Russians’ consumption of popular breakfast products, increased by 0.9 points in the second half of November — up to 123.4 points.
The index was developed on the basis of data exclusively provided to the agency by specialists from the large analytical resource «Check Index».

The base 100 points are taken as the value of the “Coffee Sandwich Index” in the period from October 1 to October 15, 2022. Its change corresponds to the arithmetic average of the dynamics of the average bill for each of the seven goods.
