Market breaches decline 7 percent
The Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Supply continued to reduce market violations during the first seven months of this year by 7%, registering 2,388 violations compared to 2,567 in the same period of the previous year. This reflects an increased level of compliance with laws and the effectiveness of oversight and awareness campaigns carried out by the ministry. The violations were primarily focused on the failure to display prices, accounting for about 83% of total violations, followed by illegal price increases beyond set limits. The ministry employs various legislation to regulate markets, including the Consumer Protection Law, which stipulates fines of up to 10,000 dinars, as well as closing establishments and detention when necessary. The ministry emphasizes its ongoing efforts to monitor markets, receive citizen reports, and tighten supervision over local markets. Additionally, ministry reports indicate stable stocks of essential food supplies, with sufficient quantities to cover consumption for periods ranging from two months up to 6.4 months for wheat. The ministry is also taking measures to procure more supplies to ensure the continued availability of goods.
