High inflation and strong competitive pressure in a turbulent year

For Rimi Baltic the year 2022 was characterised by very high inflation, strong increases in energy prices and fierce price competition, mainly from Lidl’s new discount stores in Latvia and Estonia. There was a major focus during the year on responding to a changing world around us and market volatility. Activities included multiple initiatives with a bearing on price and value for money, store efficiency improvements, internal cost optimisation and the introduction of new ways of working.
