The Ministry of Trade and Export Development will intervene if the prices of certain products show an upward trend during the month of Ramadan in 2024. This will be done by setting profit margins or maximum prices.

This was declared by the director of the National Observatory of Supply and Prices, Ramzi Trabelsi, quoted by the Tap agency, adding that the ministry will monitor price fluctuations daily.

Trabelsi also clarified that recent studies carried out by the Observatory have not revealed a significant increase in prices, except for certain products affected by the off-season.

Under Law No. 86 of 1964, the Observatory provides daily and monthly data as part of the state’s post-price liberalization strategy, under the supervision of the General Directorate of Competition and Economic Surveys.
