Yanal Barmawi, the ministry's spokesperson,
told Al-Mamlaka TV that these preparations for Ramadan are to address potential
inflationary pressures caused by Israel's aggression on
Gaza and the West Bank,
as well as the subsequent repercussions and disruptions in the Red Sea and Bab
Al-Mandeb.
According to Barmawi, the ministry will
conduct rigorous inspection campaigns of all commercial businesses to ensure
compliance with the terms of industry, trade, and competition law. They will
also monitor
product availability and pricing variations. However, till now,
the ministry found no infractions or market distortions.
Furthermore, Barmawi stated that commercial
stores' advertised deals and discounts are subject to the laws controlling
industry, commerce, and competition.
He stressed that the ministry closely monitors
whether these reductions or discounts represent
competition violations or hurt
other sectors. Specifically, behaviors that could result in economic dominance
or concentration for one store at the detriment of another. Barmawi emphasized
that selling below cost involves practices that may affect other traders.
