The government is behind the price increases of the past twenty years

From data published by the Central Bureau of Statistics, it turns out that between 1996 and 2006, goods and services have increased by 31% in price. More than a third of the increase, 12.6% was caused by increases in various taxes and duties. Other increases were in natural gas, of which the price has increased threefold and for instance milk, which increased 67%. Sewage dues have increased two and a half times.
