Trade Ministry steps up market inspections to regulate prices and protect consumers

The Ministry of Internal Trade and National Market Regulation has launched extensive inspection campaigns across wholesale and retail markets, as well as large retail spaces. The initiative focuses on ensuring compliance with reference prices for essential goods and high-demand products, such as potatoes and dairy products, while enforcing price transparency and proper display. Control teams are also verifying storage conditions, including the cold chain for meats, to ensure safety and quality. These measures are designed to combat unjustified price hikes, prevent speculation, and maintain market stability. This field activity aligns with the government's broader strategy to secure product availability, further supported by the presidential decision to establish an economic regulatory body dedicated to controlling prices and protecting citizens' purchasing power.
