Commerce Ministry Sets Price Cap Amid Water Shortage
The Ministry of Commerce and Export Development in Tunisia has issued a decision setting the maximum profit margins for the sale of bottled mineral water at 15% for wholesale distribution and the same percentage for retail sales. This measure aims to address the shortage of bottled water resulting from rising temperatures, increased demand, and certain vendors' pricing violations and monopolistic practices. The ministry confirmed that violations will be subject to penalties in accordance with the law and called on citizens to report any pricing violations or unfair dealings. This came in conjunction with inspection measures that led to the seizure of 186,543 liters of non-compliant water. The market continues to be supplied through 31 production units operating at full capacity, with producers having pledged not to collude or engage in market speculation.
