The update of prices is based on the evolution of foreign exchange rates and taxes. A few weeks ago, Apple has introduced a new feature to define a Tax Category to apps and In-App Purchases. More information in our article "New tax managemement system of the App Store".
Developers may adjust their own price after the changes are available and can do so at any time within App Store Connect.
