最终商品价格监控与分析是消费者行为预估的重要环节。在拉脱维亚，大型零售商数量有限。本数据库承接自2018年开始的价格监控项目，并展示了2020年第一季度的数据观察结果。2020年，Maxima和Rimi为最大的零售商。而2018年，其中仅有的一家拥有自己的在线商店。到了2019年，另一家零售商也开设了自己的在线商店。与此同时，市场正为即将到来的新主要零售商Lidl的加入做准备，这标志着零售市场竞争的加剧。在这种背景下，价格监控能够揭示竞争对市场的影响。数据集展现了拉脱维亚最终（主要为便利）商品的价格监控情况。往年观察数据可参考Skribans, Valerijs (2019), “拉脱维亚自2018年7月至2019年12月的便利商品价格”，Mendeley Data，V1，doi: 10.17632/wfprghyrv8.1
