Markets: Abundant Supply, Stable Prices During 1st 15 Days of Ramadan - Inter-ministerial Committee

The inter-ministerial Committee in charge of monitoring supply, prices and quality and price control operations, convened on Thursday, reported abundant supply of goods and generally stable prices during the first fifteen days of Ramadan.

"According to reports made by the services of the departments concerned, the markets are supplied in abundance and with a diversity of consumer products," said, in a statement, the general affairs and governance department of the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Administration Reform at the end of the third meeting of this Committee during the month of Ramadan.

"As for prices charged, they are generally stable, with a downward trend in products that are in high demand during the beginning of the holy month," the same source continued, noting that, compared to the same period of Ramadan last year, decreases have been recorded in the prices of dates, dried fruit, legumes, butter and some vegetables such as onion.

In addition, slight increases in prices were observed for other food products such as white meat, tomatoes and some fruits, according to the same source.

The Committee will continue to hold regular meetings to monitor the evolution of the market situation, the level of supply and prices and the assessment of interventions of control committees to address any type of fraud, monopolization, speculation, or price manipulation, concludes the statement.
