Ministry spokesperson Yanal Barmawi, in response to a question by Petra, said that the decision to maintain the export ban on certain goods was made before the month of Ramadan, in order to preserve a safe and strategic stockpile, and to maintain price stability in the market through balanced supply and demand.
Barmawi clarified that the lifting of the export ban on some items was due to the availability of a safe strategic reserve, and is intended to give the private sector the opportunity to export and re-export these goods.
