The Ministry of Economic Development has stated that it will work to maintain product prices during Ramadan.
In a tweet on Monday, the Ministry stated that it will be working with State Trading Organization (STO) to increase the supply of basic and commonly used products during the fasting month.
MED in collaboration with @stoplc will increase the supply of commonly and widely used products during Ramazan in addition to basic items to maintain prices during Ramazan.

Prices tend to increase during every Ramadan, especially prices of staple foods, fruits and vegetables.
While the government works to control prices, STO has greatly reduced the prices of their products which would be in demand during Ramadan.
